Decrypt a SecureString on Remote Computer

Hi,

I have two systems namely comp1 and comp2, both in same domain. I am using powershell encryption method on comp1, to encrypt a text ad save it to a file.

$secure= Read-Host "Enter Password"-asSecureString $bytes= ConvertFrom-SecureString $secure$bytes | Out-File c:\securePassword.txt

Now I am copying the exact file to comp2 and trying to decrypt it by using this code:

function Decrypt([string]$exportfile)
{$securepassword= ConvertTo-SecureString $exportfile$marshal=[System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]$ptr=$marshal::SecureStringToBSTR( $securepassword )$str=$marshal::PtrToStringBSTR( $ptr )$marshal::ZeroFreeBSTR( $ptr )return$str
}$exportfile= get-content c:\securepassword.txt
Decrypt $exportfile

but I am getting this error:
