May 13, 2009  IIS 7 Tip # 10 You can generate machine keys from the IIS manager. 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. Aug 07, 2014 In an ASP.NET web application, if you use ViewState, Session, Forms authentication, or other encrypted and/or secured values, these values are encrypted and decrypted using a set of keys called decryptionKey and validationKey located in the machineKey element under the system.web section in the.NET’s machine.config file. Normally, these keys are automatically generated every time the application recycles.

Introduction

Machine key generates a unique key which helps you on single form because it helps to protect your Form Authentication cookies and page level View state. When user sends a request and Server A receives response with form Authentication cookies, now again he sends a request which was received by Server B and attempted to decrypt form authentication cookies which was unsuccessful to decrypt because server A was using his own unique machine key and server B was using its own unique machine key to decrypt the form Authentication cookies. To avoid this problem, use the same machine key on all servers.
