Enhance data protection and compliance with Skater Private Keys Depot.
Monitor and audit your key use with Skater logging or your security information and event management solution for more analysis and threat detection.Secure key management is essential to protect data in the cloud. With Skater Private Keys Depot, Rustemsoft doesn't see or extract your keys. Use Skater Private Keys Depot to encrypt keys and small secrets like passwords that use keys stored in hardware security modules.

That way the key stays in the memory of the computer but is not into a source code file. Question: In our application we have a lot of sensitive configuration settings, which we are storing in a xml file which is again encrypted.
This secure file has to be decrypted in runtime and the configuration values read, but an issue arises that the key and initialization vector is hardcoded in the code and hence anyone can read it using Reflector.
What is the best way to store encryption keys in .NET so no one can read them using .NET assembly browser? Answer: Use Skater Private Keys Depot algorithm to encrypt and decrypt data of .NET application projects.
Generally, a new key and IV will be created by Skater Private Keys Depot algorithms for every session, and neither the key nor IV being stored for use in a later session.
To communicate a symmetric key and IV to a remote party, Skater Private Keys Depot encrypts the symmetric key and IV using asymmetric encryption. This requires to have connection to the key server by whoever runs the application though, the connection provided by Skater Depot keys management system.Sending these values across an insecure network without encrypting them is extremely unsafe, as anyone that intercepts these values can then decrypt your data.
It will be storing the file encryption/decryption key on a remote Skater Depot cloud server, getting it though the web service that transfers it though https to the .NET application.
