title: Storing public key in web.config file
body: <p>I am trying to store a public key in the web.config file of an ASP.NET website as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;add key="public_key" value="&lt;RSAKeyValue&gt;&lt;Modulus&gt;zDYX4tbHSyTrwDmjSXiiFTo0ydGK50zxtH2lGL90oWrshMGy16wod7AZMfm8CMd/Rxl3ocIPLTmHSwyBb0xzL6lnF8uJI90s2TBHYemx3tkRQCcW6PZfGBWwlwSzhaNidbibRtoWNImBG4ehzc5Yxg3r6IyUBEtY9xJkL1tIezU=&lt;/Modulus&gt;&lt;Exponent&gt;AQAB&lt;/Exponent&gt;&lt;/RSAKeyValue&gt;"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This code is located inside the appSettings section of the web.config file.  Unfortunately, it is giving me the following warning along with a number of other errors:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Warning 6   The element 'appSettings' has invalid child element 'RSAKeyValue'. List of possible elements expected: 'add, remove, clear'.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I solve this problem please?  Thank you :)</p>
