Let XX denote Rn\mathbb{R}^n or, more generally, a Hilbert space. Given an arbitrary subset CC of XX and a collection H\mathcal{H} of affine hyperplanes of XX such that every HHH\in\mathcal{H} passes through some point xHCx_{H}\in C, and C={xH:HH}C=\{x_H: H\in\mathcal{H}\}, what conditions are necessary and sufficient for the existence of a C1,1C^{1,1} convex hypersurface SS in XX such that HH is tangent to SS at xHx_H for every HHH\in\mathcal{H}? In this paper we give an answer to this question. We also provide solutions to similar problems for convex hypersurfaces of class C1,ωC^{1, \omega} in Hilbert spaces, and for convex hypersurfaces of class C1,αC^{1, \alpha} in superreflexive Banach spaces having equivalent norms with moduli of smoothness of power type 1+α1+\alpha, α(0,1]\alpha\in (0, 1].
