Thanks guys. I wasn't aware of DPAPI. Unfortunately it is user specific and I need something that will work for all users.
What I think is needed (and apparently does not exist) is the .NET equivalent of DPAPI. Something that has a secure path from the specific version of an application to a highly secure storage. This would also address DPAPI's second shortcoming that any app can access a given user's data. I want this did to be non-discoverable. Ideas?
