Hi,
you can use DPAPI Encryption. Look at this articles:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsecure/html/windataprotection-dpapi.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetsec/html/secnetht07.asp

DPAPI ensure protection of strings by using simmetric encryption based
on current user store or machine store. You can build simple web tool
for encrypt database connection strings and copy the result string into
the web.config.

HTH
ciao
