SQL Server does not provide any inbuilt encyption method.
You have to use MS Crypto APIs from your front-end to
develop your own methods to implement encryption solutions.
If this is for password encryptions, I guess, there are a few
undocumented methods like PWDENCRYPT, PWDCOMPARE etc which
you may use (not recommended). Also check out
