Hi every bodies,

Other than SQL Server Encryption and SQL Server MD5, in the market, are
there any other 3rd party product can do data encryptions ?

I understand this news group is talking about Microsoft product, but I raise
this question as my IT Manager felt SQL Server Encryption method will cause
performance problem. So I need to find other products.

Do you have any suggestions ?

SQL Server 2005 (and 2008) has a range of encryption functions
(EncryptByKey, EncryptByCert, etc). It also has hash functions. MD5 on the
other hand is just one of the hashing *algorithms*. SQL Server 2008 also has
Transparent Data Encryption, which is a different kind of encryption
solution.

What performance problems are you trying to overcome? I suspect there is not
much market for third-party solutions given that these features are built
into the product, but I really don't know.
