SQL Server Encryption in MSDE 2000

I developed an app which stored data in SQL 2005, and encrypted some data using EncryptByPassPhrase( PassPhrase, TheData ), DecryptByPassPhrase( PassPhrase, TheData).

One of the implementations of this will have to store the data in SQL 2000, which doesn't support this functionality. Is there a simple data encryption functionality somewhere that I can implement within a stored proc so I can have my app be independent of the back-end data base server , i.e. so I can have two different stored procedures depending on the back end db, and not to have the front end handle the encryption

Thanks

Phil

    Marcello, please don't post multiple times just to advertise your library - those posts/threads will be removed.

    It's ok to reply to a thread and point to your site, if it is relevant to the discussed topic and if your library does indeed help, as it is the case for this thread.

    Thank you

    You have two choices if you want a solution that works on both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005:

    (1) implement your own set of encryption procedures

    (2) look at a third party product available for both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005

    Thanks
