Re: Encrypting MS SQL databases

Hi

What about an encrypted volume on every laptop? You can use example
TrueCrypt to mount the volume. TrueCrypt supports password and using
an file as an password.

Hi list !

I'm currently working on a solution needing to perform replications
between MS SQL Server databases: there will be a central database and
several laptops connecting to it. The replications will occur on the
laptops, so they will have all the data on them, including sensitive
data.

So I will need to encrypt the data in their databases, and AFAIK, MS SQL
server 2K does not have encryption tools included.

So I will be looking for a tool that:
- will not be a millstone around people's neck :) (having 5 more
logins/passwords to know just because of the encryption)
- will be strong enough to not panic if a laptop is stolen :)

Any clue will be appreciated !
