connectionString encryption in ASP.NET 2.0

[TunaAdmiral]

Good afternoon!

I am interested in storing my DB connection strings in web.config files. To make this practical, I would like to use the encryption methods available with ASP.NET 2.0.

Does anyone have any advice on implementing this in a shared hosting environment?

Do shared web hosting providers generally run ASP.NET applications using the "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" identity?

Any input would be appreciated!


Thanks!
