how secure is the key container? are there a better solution? any artickle on the matter will be great help
The standard 'key container' is a folder under your user profile, under Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA. Each file represents an issued key. The file itself is encrypted with your master key, which is itself protected by a key derived from your logon password. The folder is protected by an Access Control List which permits only Administrators, yourself, and the system (represented by the LocalSystem or SYSTEM security principal) to read and write to the folder. So the ultimate security of the key container is based on the strength of your logon password.
