    Encryption for sql server

    hey guyz.. if the client app is connecting straight to the sql server to withdraw the data from its database. is there a way to encrypt the information when the client is sending info. and the sql server will automatically decrypt the information and visa versa?

    It would seem to me that you would have to have a layer on the server to process the encryption and decryption - before somehow sending the packet of info - but that's really an assumption on my part. I've never seen anything in ADO that indicates that it can handle this natively.

    Have you looked in BOOKS ONLINE for anything about SQL have an encryption capability?

    Have you looked into third party products to do this?

    What kind of network do you have? What kind of client application? Do you use ADO to talk to SQL now? 2-tier, 3-tier?
