CRN : Breaking News : Microsoft Fortifies Next-Gen SQL Server

CRN : Breaking News : Microsoft Fortifies Next-Gen SQL Server "The next beta release of SQL Server will add what Microsoft calls native support for encryption, decryption and key management.
"It'll be up to you which algorithms you use [Triple DES or AES], but we can support cell-level encryption, so credit-card numbers can be encrypted but other cells not," said Tom Rizzo, director of product management for SQL Server."

    (BobB): I hope they're planning on supporting more than 2 symmetric algorithms for the built-in encryption (which is a great feature, potentially). Is Microsoft allergic to PKI? If so, they should get over it.
