Validation
Method
Specify the hash algorithm used to validate data.
Supported algorithms:
- AES
- MD5
- SHA1
- TripleDes (3DES)
- HMACSHA256
- HMACSHA384
- HMACSHA512
Key
Specify the key that is used to validate data or the process by which it is generated. This can either be:
- Predefined - manually specify the key (a string of hexadecimal characters)
- Auto-Generated - a random key will be generated and stored in the Local Security Authority LSA.
Encryption
Method
Specify the algorithm that is used for encrypting and decrypting data
Supported algorithms:
- Auto - ASP.NET will automatically determine which encryption algorithm to use
- AES
- TripleDES(3DES)
- DES
