Introduction to Encryption
MICHAEL G. H. COLES, Rodney Landrum · Apress eBooks · 2009
SQL Server 2008 provides the most comprehensive set of encryption technologies of any SQL Server release to date. The newest release of SQL Server implements encryption features that cover the spectrum from column-level encryption to database-level encryption, with support for external hardware security modules. In addition, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 provide encryption support via Encrypting File System and BitLocker encryption. This combination of options provides a complete toolset for securing your data at any storage granularity—cell-level, database-level, or an entire volume. In this book, I’ll discuss all of these features for securing your SQL Server-based data. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
