I am looking for a way to securely store a shared secret.  This shared
secret is going to be used my multiple machines and so can't be generated
for each machine independently.  It can of course be encrypted but then the
key has to be securely stored.

Ideally there would be a way to store data that was only accessible to the
storing application.  It would not be accessible to other applications
(modified versions on the same app) or to users.

Does such a storage mechanism exist for .NET?

If not are there other suggestions for how to securely store shared secrets?

Thanks,
-Mont
