Lists available RSA key containers used by IIS.

IIS Key Container Lister

Summary

When encrypting portions of web.config to protect sensitive data such as API keys, aspnet_regiis makes it easy to add new RSA keys, but not so easy to see what keys you've installed on your system.

This is a command line tool to list available RSA key containers used by IIS Express.

The meat of the functional code comes from LamonteCristo's answer on this StackOverflow thread.
