ReadOnlyNameValueCollection. However, ReadOnlyNameValueCollection is an internal class to the System.dll assembly. So you can't refer to it from your code. It derives from System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection, though, You can cast it into NameValueCollection. You are not able to change the collection since it is actually ReadOnlyNameValueCollection. You can reference the configured key/value pairs using encConfig["MasterSecret"], etc.
