title: ASP.Net MVC 4 App: Best way to encrypt Web.Config files?
body: <p>I was wondering what the best (most secure) way to encrypt Web.Config files in an ASP.Net MVC 4 Application are? I have some background with developing in-house applications using C#, but we never focused too much on encryption due to other security that was already in place.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: My host Server is ORACLE if that changes anything? A friend mentioned perhaps using <strong>aspnet_regiis.exe</strong> after deployment of my code with the '-pe' argument. Anyone have any pros/cons for this method?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT2: ORACLE is a Database, not a Server! Can I go home yet?! >_&lt;</p>
