    Ali,

    Check this tool: http://www.obviex.com/cipherlite/. It is not very secure,
    though (but neither is Configuration Management Application Block, since -
    if I understand it correctly - it requires the encryption key to be stored
    in plain text on the same system). Anyway, either option is still better
    than keeping data unencrypted.
