    I have writen a class that uses certificates to encrypt
    data on my web servers prior to storing it in a database
    and would like to know if there are any flaws associated
    with this design. I chose this because there are no keys
    to manage in configuration files and certificates are
    already in use for web service security using WSE 2.0. It
    takes a string and encrypts it and passes back the
    ecrypted string for storage in the database. Web servers
    have the public key for encryption while the backend
    servers (not public facing) have the public and private
    keys which can be used for encrypting and decrypting the
    data for various processes.
