MOSS Crypto Issue. HELP!

I keep getting a crypto error on the Shared Server Search, every 1 minute. I've stopped and recreated these to no help. In my mind it seems to be failing because it can't encrypt with a self signed cert? Any thoughts? Anyone seen this?

Application Server Administration job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchAdminSharedWebServiceInstance (33dacb47-30e5-41a8-8e9e-2c4a4941a895).

Reason: The handle is invalid.


Techinal Support Details:
System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: The handle is invalid.
