Summary:
One of the biggest concerns of .NET Developers (and their clients) is protecting sensitive configuration data such as usernames and passwords, database connection strings and other global data that needs to be made easily available application - wide. Of course, web.config doesn't normally get served by IIS, provided the default mappings are set in machine.config and not overriden in a local web.config file. But a lot of people I"ve talked to don't feel comfortable having sensitive data in web.config. So of course, the first step would be that we can encrypt the data for starters.
