This tool allows you to generate random keys for validation and encryption/decryption of the ViewState in your ASP.NET application.

The
<machineKey>
element is also used by the default Membership provider to hash/encrypt passwords, and is required when deploying your application to a web farm.The tool creates a 256-bit decryption key and a 512-bit validation key, with Rijndael (specifically, AES) as the data validation algorithm. Once the keys are generated, they are converted into a string of hexadecimal characters.
Tests needed
Web Farm and - ASP.NET Security. I have a Web Farm and I understand that in order to keep ViewState safe I want to modify the. 1) The doentation indicates that EnableViewStateMac defaults to 'false' but I am seeing View State corruption messages (as a result of HttpException).
Iis Machine Key Generator
Internally, MKG uses the RNGCryptoServiceProvider class to generate the bytes from which the keys are derived. While the RNGCryptoServiceProvider is supposed to be sufficiently random to make it useful for crypto hashing, I have not yet written an exhaustive test suite to verify this. As such, I'd appreciate any pull-requests with units tests, if one is so inclined.

Asp Net 5 Install
Currently, there is one test project that runs a few simple tests. I use a HashSet to store 1 million generated keys, escaping early if a duplicate is detected. At the moment, the tests complete successfully, so I feel somewhat confident that you will always get a unique machine key set.
