Explanation:
Machine keys help protect Forms authentication cookie data and page-level view state data. They also verify out-of-process session state identification. ASP.NET uses the following types of machine keys:
* A validation key computes a Message Authentication Code (MAC) to confirm the integrity of the data. This key is appended to either the Forms authentication cookie or the view state for a specific page.
* A decryption key is used to encrypt and decrypt Forms authentication tickets and view state.
