About SQLcrypto

SQLcrypto is a suite of cryptographic extended procedures written in C/C++ language. It provides an affordable and effective security solution for your database server. It currently supports industrially recognizable symmetric ciphers and hash algorithms.

Ciphers include AES, Blowfish, CAST5, Triple DES, DESX, IDEA, RC4, and RC5. Message digestion algorithms include MD5, SHA-1, and RIPEMD-160.

They are based on OpenSSL Crypto engine for most of the cryptographic operations. It is high performance, highly reliable, highly compatible and highly secure.

Whenever administrators and developers need to perform cryptographic operations on database data, it is only a matter of mouse clicks to insert encryption/decryption and hash functions into existing store procedures and queries without the necessity of recompiling the whole application.

SQLcrypto provides a complete data privacy solution for database management including a variety of strong encryption algorithms and templates to build your own cryptographic procedures. In Microsoft SQL Server, Transact-SQL developers can access to a rich set of cryptographic functions as well as hash functions in their native SQL language without undergoing any additional training. Applications are empowered with the ability to extend the current SQLcrypto features as well as to design entirely independent solutions.

SQLcrypto benefits

• Industrial-strength ciphers

SQLcrypto utilizes high-technology ciphers recognized as industry-standard.

• Low learning curve

SQLcrypto works with T-SQL language. Database administrators and developers familiar with T-SQL need not undergo extensive training to use it. Existing store procedures can be modified without recompiling an entire application to get encrypted/decrypted data right away.

• Low cost

There is no need to spend tens of thousands of dollars to keep your data well protected. With SQLcrypto, you can protect sensitive customer information with the best technology on the market for only a marginal investment.

• Easy maintenance

The only maintenance SQLcrypto requires is daily back-ups on the keys for all the cryptographic operations.

• Light weight, low footprint, easy installation

SQLcrypto uses minimal hard disk space, so you do not need to invest in extra hard disks to house it. It is written in native C/C++ language, so it runs efficiently in a networked environment. You only need to run a simple setup program to get your SQL Server ready to do cryptography right away!

Features Matrix

NOTE
The Express Edition is a full featured (Except for the IDEA and RIPEMD160 algorithms) and not time limited program.
However it has some functional limitations (Limited to 14 chars). RC4 algorithm is not limited.
