ViewState encryption and validation
Forms Authentication uses this key for signing the authentication ticket
Having a Web App installed on multiple servers requires same Machine Key configured on all of them in order for Load Balancing to work.
To see all details, please refer to: MSDN How To: Configure MachineKey in ASP.NET 2.0

Whenever you make use of ViewState, Session, Forms authentication, or other encrypted and/or secured values, ASP.NET uses a set of keys to do the encryption and decryption. Normally, these keys are hidden and automatically generated by ASP.NET every time your application recycles. or even we can create hard-coded machineKeys also....
Thanx,
Pravin.
