  <p>My question is same, But I want to ask it differently</p>
  
  <p>I have C# application. I am encrypting some data in the application. For encryption I am using secret key or password. This same thing is needed for decryption. </p>
  
  <p>Where/how to store this secret  key or password in application? its easy to view string password from reflection. I may use some combination to generate password, but some smart guys can guess that with some efforts. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any secured way to store or manage secret password which is used in application to encrypt data?</p>
