.Net Machinekey.Protect - what algorithm is used?
Question
I'm using Machinekey.Protect and Machinekey.Unprotect to encrypt values in my application. A potential client is performing a security audit and has asked about the encryption algorithms used by this method and I am struggling to find an answer using google.
Any help with verifiable links would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, John

The encryption & hashing algorithms are specified in the <machineKey> element in Web.config.
The default is AES256.
