I've coded a VB.NET windows service that uses ADO.NET to communicate with
both a MS Access database and an MS SQL Server 2000 database. I'm using SQL
Authentication to validate access, but I'm not sure what options I have (if
any) to secure the data transmission/communicate between my Windows Service
and the SQL Server.

I know with my web apps I can uses SSL, but what about standard .NET Windows
apps -- do I have anyway to secure the data transmission to/from the SQL
Server?

Thanks,
