I would like to test protection="None" and protection="Validation" settings
in the web.config file, however, after making these changes the data in the
cookies still appears to be encrypted.

When using these settings I have assumed that the
FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket) method should still be used to perform
the actual serialization of the ticket to a string that can be included
within the cookie. I assume (but can't find it documented) that the .Encrypt
method will utilize the Protection setting within the global.inc file to
determine how (or if at all) to encrypt the data... I am guessing its task
is to simply be able to create a string that the .Decrypt method will be
able to use for deserialization of the data back into a ticket object.

Thanks

Jason
