This one is a very good article. However i am confused whether user can read the .Net object values from the memory.
I am using symmetrical key encyption mechanism to stored the sensitive info in the databse. For the same i am loading key in the server memory so that don't need to reload the key on demand of encryption/decryption.
Does it means my key can be stolen(from memory) whoever have access to my application server?
