Q: 

Compact Framework Configuration Encryption

I have a compact framework 3.5 application that is making a call to a webservice. On a desktop application I would normally just encrypt these and store the encryption keys in the application. However, I'm more concerned about security since this is on a handheld that may walk off. What is the standard practice for encrypting configuration items with the compact framework.
