You can try here:

Keep in mind encryption is not a cure for all security problems. Encrypting data unnecessarily can create a huge performance burden on SQL Server. For certain things, like credit card numbers, it makes sense, but it does not for most other data. It also doesn't fix the problem of unwanted access. If you are encrypting data to keep regular users from seeing it, then you need to change your security model and deny permissions to those users.

I have some encryption schemes in VB.NET if anyone is interested. The code handles both MD5 Hashing and Triple DES encryption. This method means data would be encrypted and decrypted before being sent to the database. But if keys are lost, the data will be unreadable.

The Triple DES scheme encrypts data for insertion as a varbinary type. MD5 encrypts data for insertion as a varchar type.

Let me know and I'll post. I'll post it in the ASP.NET section, though.
