Column Security - Encryption Suppport?
Apr 17, 2001Hi
There is a very sensitive table that holds a very sensitive field (i.e. a person's salary). I have a requirement to programmatically encrypt it when the value is stored (I can do that quite easily in the VB client app), but there are times when a suitably 'sa' user should be allowed to perform a SELECT of the table and to view the salary field in the clear.
I think a SQL2000 user-defined function can do the job. The catch is that the client is running SQL 7 and he will only upgrade 'over his dead body', or words to that effect.
Appreciate any ideas you can give!
Cheers & TIA
SQL Security :: Enforcing Unique Constraint On A Column Encrypted With Cell Level Encryption?
May 11, 2015I want to enforce a unique constraint on a column which must be encrypted in MSSQL 2005 using Cell Level Encyption (CLE).
CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'itsaSECRET!!!3£3£3£!!!'
CREATE CERTIFICATE ERCERT WITH SUBJECT = 'A cert for use by procs'
CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY ERKEY
WITH ALGORITHM = AES_256
ENCRYPTION BY CERTIFICATE ERCERT
[Code] ....
The output makes it obvious why the constraint has 'not' been enforced.

SQL Security :: Encryption 2005 - User Defined Function For Encryption And Decryption
Oct 7, 2015I have created two user defined functions for encryption and decryption using passphrase mechanism. When I call encryption function, each time I am getting the different values for the same input. While I searching a particular value, it takes long time to retrieve due to calling decryption function for each row.
best way to encrypt and decrypt using user defined functions.Below is the query which is taking long time.
SELECT ID FROM table WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE dbo.DecodeFunction(column) = 'value'
When I try to use symetric or asymetric encryption, I am not able to put "OPEN SYMETRIC KEY" code in a function. So, I am using PassPhrase mechanism.
Security And Encryption And Decryption
Apr 21, 2007I found that while using encryption and decryption by keys and certificates thsere is no security at all.
if we uses master key the sysadmin can decrypt
but if we use private key (encryption by password), how do we pass the password so that profiller didn't show it?
Dialog Security And Message Encryption
Apr 25, 2006I understand that Dialog Security + certificates can be used to encryption individual dialogs. I have several demos working now that do just this.However, I don't fully understand exactly when the messages are encrypted, and if they are ever written to a queue on the initiating service prior to being encrypted. I want to make sure that admins can't simply query the transmission queues to get clear text messages, because I have strict requirements that I encrypt all personal data that is stored anywhere in a database.
BOL is a little unclear on this topic. The relevant doc reads:For a dialog that uses security, Service Broker encrypts all
messages sent outside a SQL Server instance. Messages that remain within a SQL
Server instance are never encrypted. In dialog security, only the database that
hosts the initiating service and the database that hosts the target service need
to have access to the certificates used for security. That is, an instance that
performs message forwarding is not required to have the capability to decrypt
the messages that the instance forwards.Does this imply that message destined for an external service aren't encrypted until they leave the instance? Or does Service Broker figure out that the message is destined for a remote service and therefore applies encryption to the message_body prior to the message hitting the transmission queue on the initiating service?Many thanks, Kevin
SQL Security :: Transparent Data Encryption
Sep 11, 2015I have a question regarding Transparent Data Encryption. I have enabled TDE on a database using the below steps:
1. Create a master key encryption by a password.
2. Create a certificate in the the user database named 'TDE_Test' protected by the master key.
3. Create database encryption key 'TDE_Test' using the certificate created in Step 2.
4. Enable encryption by using the command 'ALTER DATABASE
TDE_Test SET ENCRYPTION ON'
I understand that if I need to copy this TDE encrypted database to a different SQL Instance, I have to copy the certificate from the source Instance to the destination Instance.Now my question is, do the Service Master Key and Database Master Key come into the picture here anywhere?
Are these related to TDE in any way? Do I have to take regular backups of the Service Master Key & Database Master Key as part of regular maintenance for the SQL Instance that has a TDE encrypted database?
SQL Security :: Encryption In Case Of Replication
Nov 23, 2015I am using SQL server 2012 Management studio and I have some confidential data on publisher which is being replicated to subscriber and i want to revoke permission for decryption at publisher end which is only possible using Asymmetric key as it allows only private key to decry-pt the data. But problem which i am facing is,we can not take backup of asymmetric keys which i could restore at subscriber. I do not want to share the private key password with sender. Is there any way to achieve it?

Nov 20, 2007
I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.
I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.
I get the error:
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available.

Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?

With SQL Server 2005 encryption:
1. Is it possible to encrypt a column "in place" - or do we always need to create a new varbinary column to hold the encrypted column? Some products (NetLib Encryptionizer) seem to be able to encrypt an existing column in place.
2.If you encrypt an existing column to a new varbinary column, it it customary to then ALTER the table and delete the existing plain-text column?
Thanks...

Sep 21, 2004Can't seem to get my head around this: I'm looking for a way to select only those varchar(10) values that soley consist of numbers. Leading spaces are allowed.
I tried using isnumeric, but it also allows those with periods, comma's etc.
Also tried using like, but the length of the varchar column varies too much to do a like '[0-9][0-9]....'.
As a solution I currently do a combo of isnumeric, not like '%.%', not like '%,%' etc. I need to do a conversion to an int to join another table, but the convert still fails. Not sure where and why.
I'm thinking there should be a better way than create a hughe list of "not like " but it looks like I'm in the woods here...

Transform One Varchar Column Into Many Bit Columns
May 19, 2007Hi all,
I'm new at this SSIS but have been able to successfully create some simple packages. My situation is that at work we use a column to describe a status of applications. However, this makes for hellacious query because some of those statuses inherintly were one or more statuses previously. Example
Admit = Admit
Accept = Admit then Accept
Withdraw Accept = Admit, Accept, then Withdraw
Decline = Admit then Decline
As you can see inherintly those were all admits at one point. So what I'd like to do is instead of having long queries for example to get all my "Admits", I'd rather query another table that has the following columns as bits:
Admit
Accept
Withdraw
That way I can query the admit column and get all my admits. How can I use SSIS to transform my "Decision" column into those bit columns?
Thanks for any help or suggestions you have.
