Hai guys,
Thus far i am using the following statements for encrypting a password variable in sql server 2005
OPEN SYMMETRIC KEY SecureSymmetricKey1
DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = N'StrongPassword';
DECLARE @encrypted_str VARBINARY(MAX)
select @encrypted_str=EncryptByKey(Key_GUID('SecureSymmetricKey1'),@Password)
Is this a good practice or any other approach for doing this…
