I have an MVC3 + EF 4.1 application, against a SQL Server 2008 database, with a requirement that the ‘entire table is encrypted’ for sensitive data. What are my options for implementing this?
NOTE: I am using the Repository Pattern, with DI swappable concrete repositories, so EF data access is not an absolute requirement here.
You might want to consider using Transparent Data Encryption. This encrypts the entire database and it much easier to use than cell level encryption.
MS SQL does not provide a table based encryption.
