  1. Jan 12, 2011 how to generate validationKey and decryption Key for web.config Posted in ASP.NET (C# & VB), C#, VB, WCF by Alok Kumar Pandey on January 12, 2011 This article describes how to create keys to use for encryption, decryption, and validation of Forms authentication cookie data.
  2. You can use the IIS MachineKey Validation Key generator to get the encryption keys (make sure to avoid the,IsolateApps portion). As of R1 2017, the Encrypt-then-MAC approach is implemented, in order to improve the integrity of the encrypted temporary and target folders.
  3. This tool allows you to create a valid random machine key for validation and encryption/decryption of ASP.NET view state. This is beneficial in a webfarm where all of the server nodes need to have the same machine key, and it is also beneficial on a single box to keep the machine key consistent between IIS recycles and server reboots.
  4. May 13, 2009 The machineKey element of the ASP.NET web.config specifies the algorithm and keys that ASP.NET will use for encryption. By default the validationKey and the decryptionKey keys are set to AutoGenerate which means the runtime will generate a random key for use. This works fine for applications that are deployed on a single server.

The data protection code base includes a package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Cryptography.KeyDerivation which contains cryptographic key derivation functions. This package is a standalone component and has no dependencies on the rest of the data protection system. It can be used completely independently. The source exists alongside the data protection code base as a convenience.

The package currently offers a method KeyDerivation.Pbkdf2 which allows hashing a password using the PBKDF2 algorithm. This API is very similar to the .NET Framework's existing Rfc2898DeriveBytes type, but there are three important distinctions:

  1. The KeyDerivation.Pbkdf2 method supports consuming multiple PRFs (currently HMACSHA1, HMACSHA256, and HMACSHA512), whereas the Rfc2898DeriveBytes type only supports HMACSHA1.

  2. Gta 4 product key generator software. The KeyDerivation.Pbkdf2 method detects the current operating system and attempts to choose the most optimized implementation of the routine, providing much better performance in certain cases. (On Windows 8, it offers around 10x the throughput of Rfc2898DeriveBytes.)

  3. The KeyDerivation.Pbkdf2 method requires the caller to specify all parameters (salt, PRF, and iteration count). The Rfc2898DeriveBytes type provides default values for these.
