Acording to: https://weblogs.asp.net/owscott/421063 its B and D B - "To encrypt the data, you must use a command line utility called aspnet_regiis.exe which exists in the framework folder. There are two options that work for encryption, -pe and -pef." D - "In theory, in a trusted environment where everyone on the same server trusts each other, you can use the machine key so that everyone can share the key." You could also use a User Key but thats not an option.

Disagree. It should be "EncryptedKey" element (not "EncryptionKey" and not "MachineKey"). B, C - looks as almost correct option.

You need to use aspnet_regiis.exe and there should be a MachineKey in the web.config. B and D are correct.

I accidentally upvoted your comment, but it should be B and D. Your link literally says MachineKey, and not EncryptionKey.
