    MachineKey is used for:

    • ViewState encryption and validation
    • Forms Authentication (or Federated 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
