Dear all,

I'm working on a project that i'm almost done with it but I have a little problem. I'm almost done with my C# code and till the end my client asked me to encrypt data before storing it in the database. I obviously can't redo all the project it'll be time consuming so what I thought of is to make a stored procedure or something to store data encrypted and another one to decrypt it when its read, how can I do that on SQL Server 2005?

Regards,

"I obviously can't redo all the project"
WHy would you need to redo whole project here? Just the saving and retrieving part. Is not it?

Further, even for SP, did you try anything?
