RE: "correct" way to encrypt a connection string



Hi Dave,

DPAPI require that you keep your web application running on the same server
whether you perform the encryption since its encryption key is not
portable. While using RSA provider, you can export your encryption key and
import it on other machine where you need to deploy it. However, I think
DPAPI will be more efficient comparing to RSA provider.
