hi, i've been requested to encrypt a password column in a table on our database. This is the first time i'm venturing into encryption and im doing lots of reading work, problem is i dont understand the whole thing and i need to have a release out asap. can anyone help me out with a script to encrypt the password column in the following table. thanks guys...
DECLARE @AppPasswords TABLE(PasswordID INT IDENTITY(1,1), UserID INT, Password VARCHAR(50), PwdDateCreated DATETIME)
INSERT INTO @AppPasswords (
[UserID],
[Password],
[PwdDateCreated]
) VALUES (
1,
'fakepassword',
'2008-11-24 10:16:44.461' )
SELECT * FROM @AppPasswords

mmm, looks like hashing the column is the preferred method...

any advice and code examples?

DECLARE @AppPasswords TABLE(PasswordID INT IDENTITY(1,1), UserID INT, Password VARCHAR(50), PwdDateCreated DATETIME)

INSERT INTO @AppPasswords (

[UserID],

[Password],

[PwdDateCreated]

) VALUES (

1,

HashBytes('MD5', 'fakepassword'),

'2008-11-24 10:16:44.461' )

SELECT * FROM @AppPasswords

IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM @AppPasswords WHERE

[UserID] = 1 AND [Password] =

HashBytes('MD5', 'fakepassword'))

BEGIN

SELECT 'Password Matched'

END

ELSE

BEGIN

SELECT 'Password Did Not Match'

END

SELECT * FROM [@AppPasswords]
