Example

The following code makes the AES128 key exchange formatter available to security token managers in the current application.

<configuration>

    <security> 
      <cryptography>
        <keyExchangeFormatters>
          <add uri="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#kw-aes128"
               type="Microsoft.Web.Services2.Security.Cryptography.AES128KeyExchangeFormatter" />
        </keyExchangeFormatters>
      </cryptography>
