Specifies the type of encryption process that is used for validation and encryption of data.

Description |
| AES |
Specifies that ASP.NET uses AES ( Rijndael ) encryption. |
| MD5 |
Specifies that ASP.NET uses the Message Digest 5 ( MD5 ) hash algorithm. This algorithm performs better than SHA1. |
| SHA1 |
Specifies that ASP.NET uses the SHA1 hash algorithm.
This is the default value. Use this algorithm for increased security. |
| TripleDES |
Specifies that ASP.NET uses TripleDES ( 3DES ) encryption. TripleDES uses three successive iterations of the DES algorithm. |
The MachineKeyValidation class provides four encryption types that ASP.NET uses for encrypting and validating data. The four encryption types are SHA1, MD5, TripleDES, and AES.
The following code example shows how to use the MachineKeyValidation class. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the MachineKeySection class.
// Set Validation property
configSection.Validation = MachineKeyValidation.SHA1;
' Set Validation property
configSection.Validation = MachineKeyValidation.SHA1 |
