We produce a VB6 application which currently works with SQL Server 2000.
Our application is shipped with a set of data which must not be accessed
by the customer directly as it would have significant worth to our
competitors.
When we install our application on customers' machines, we use a
proprietary whole-server encryption product to protect our data.
We are now intending to move to SQL Server 2005 and would like to use
SQL Server's built in encryption. We would also like to avoid having to
install our own instance, if possible - so if the customer already uses
SQL Server 2005, our database would live on an existing instance.
Otherwise, we will install SQL Express.
We would like some protection against a local admin decrypting our data.
My question is: Is it possible to secure against this? If not
completely, what sort of protection could we manage with a sensible
amount of effort?
