Make Your ASP.NET Application FIPS Compliant for US Government Use

Wednesday, July 23, 2008 1:23:18 PM (Eastern Standard Time, UTC-05:00) ( ASP.NET | Security | Sofware Development )

If your ASP.NET 1.1 or 2.0 application throws "This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms" exception, the easiest way to fix is to add
<machineKey validationKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps" decryptionKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps" validation="3DES" decryption="3DES"/>
line to the <system.web> section of the web.config file of your application.

FIPS compliance is required for software installed on US government computers. The compliance requirement can be turned on and off.
