Where is machineKey/validationKey used in FormsAuthentication?

MSDN : machineKey

Configures algorithms and keys to use for encryption, decryption, and validation of forms-authentication data and view-state data, and for out-of-process session state identification

Specifically which methods in FormsAuthentication make use of validationKey and encryptionKey values?
