SQL Server Symmetric Encryption
Hi - this is a repost of a question that I originally posted in Security. Ok, I'm very new to this topic. I'm working on an application that
requires that some information in the db be encrypted and then
decrypted when retrieved. I have everything set up and it works fine
except for one thing. I can't seem to be able to pass a parameter into
the sp that is used to decrypt the key. It only seems to take the
string when typed in. I really think I'm missing something here. It
doesn't seem all that great to have your password hard-coded into the
stored procedure. Maybe I'm just screwing something up? Anyway, I
can't get it to work if it looks like this:OPEN SYMMETRIC KEY Key_NameDECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = @pwdThis does work:OPEN SYMMETRIC KEY Key_NameDECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'password'This
has to be some goof on my part right? If the db machine is compromised
you're giving the keys to decrypt the data away as well - they just
haver to open your stored proc. You should keep them separate imo and
I hope someone can set me straight. Also, encrypting the stored
procedure is an option, but it's very easy to decrypt from what I've
read. Can someone help point me in the right direction? Thanks! And thanks to the mod that suggested moving this post. Any help will be appreciated.

Security And Encryption And Decryption
I found that while using encryption and decryption by keys and certificates thsere is no security at all.

if we uses master key the sysadmin can decrypt

but if we use private key (encryption by password), how do we pass the password so that profiller didn't show it?

Symmetric Encryption By Asymmetric Keys
i've getting ready to implement encryption on a rather large database. I'd read that if performance is of utmost concert, you should use symmetric keys. I want to encrypt those keys by asymmetric keys. My code is working, but i'm just not sure if there is a quicker way? do you have to open and close the key each time you select/update/insert in a stored procedure that references an encrypted column, or is there a way to just modify the code by adding the encryptbykey/decryptbykey functions?

has anyone implemented encryption on columns in large tables? any suggestions for me?

Thanks,
Pete

here's my code to create the keys:

create asymmetric key ASK_Auto_Encrypt
with algorithm = RSA_512;

create symmetric key SK_AE
with algorithm = TRIPLE_DES
encryption by asymmetric key ASK_Auto_Encrypt;

here's my code to test this:

create table encryption_test (test varchar(50));

open symmetric key SK_AE
decryption by asymmetric key ASK_Auto_Encrypt;

insert into encryption_test
select encryptbykey(key_guid('SK_AE'),'test');

select convert(varchar(max),decryptbykey(test)) from encryption_test;

close symmetric key SK_AE;

Issue Working With Symmetric Key For Encryption
Please be gentle...I am very new to working with SQL.

I have the need to encrypt my columns in SQL 2005. I have created a symmetric key 'SecureKey' as well as a secure certificate 'SecureCert'

I have ran the script to create the key and the certificate successfully. When I run "select * sys.symmetic_keys;" the key shows up...when I run "select * sys.certificates;" the cert shows up.

Here is my issue, in the security folder under my database, these two things do not show up in the appropriate folders. Also when I run my encryption scripts, I am getting an error of

"msg 15151, Level 16, State 1, Line 3

cannot find the symmetric key 'SecureKey', because it does not exist or you do not have permission"

Am I missing something?

Thanks

SQL 2005 Encryption - Symmetric Keys
I have a question about the storage of symmetric keys in SQL Server 2005 due to the fact that I have read two conflicting statements on this.

In Laurentiu's blog located at http://blogs.msdn.com/lcris/archive/2005/10/14/481434.aspx, in regards to preventing symmetric key loss he makes the statement that "...Because the keys are stored in the database, they will be saved with the database....".

But in the white paper Improving Data Security by Using SQL Server 2005, which is located at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itshowcase/content/sqldatsec.mspx, in regards to symmetric keys the statement is made "...Note: The symmetric key is not stored in the database. Only the encrypted values of the symmetric key are stored in the database. Therefore, users who can access the database cannot decrypt the data without first decrypting the symmetric key....".

So I am just wondering which statement is correct, are symmetric keys stored in the database or not?

Thanks!

2005 Encryption - Symmetric Keys

Hi There

We have been playing around with encryption in 2005. I cannot find a BOL topic that discusses dropping encryption objects such as keys.

We do the followign steps:

Create master key with password, then we create a certificate using the master key, we then create a symmetric key using this certificate and encrypt data columns.

But what i find worrying is that you can then drop the symmetric key , there are no warnings that you have objects dependant on this key for decryption.

Once you have dropped the key you cannot decrypt the data anymore?

Also the key defults the expiration date to 1 year.

WHat happens after 1 year when you have encrypted data and an expired key, or someone drops the key ? How can you ever decrypt the data after that ?

You can backup master keys nd certificates but not symmetric keys?

It seems to be that youc an very easily orphan encrypted data by the loss of the symmetric key for whatever reason, is this correct ?

Thanx

SQL Server Data Encryption And Decryption
Hi.
I have a SQL Server 2000 database that contains information I would like to encrypt. The information is a field inside a table, and I would like to encrypt this information using a key, and decrypt it in my asp.net application using that key and use the decrypted data.
Please tell me how this can be done, or direct me to an article or a link on the subject.
Thanks in advance.

SSIS Packages Encryption && Decryption
1) We are migrating data from SQL Server 2000 databases to SQL Server 2005 database.

2) We are developing SSIS packages in client and then transferring to server to execute.

3) Here we are encrypting entire package with password i.e. protection level 3 using dtutil and executing while decrypting with dtexec.

4) Actually we have master execute package with child execute packages in it for each data flow package. Hence, we need to execute only this master execute package.

5) Can you let me know how to go about doing it this way instead of executing individual packages one by one in correct relational order while maintaining transaction integrity.

Encryption/Decryption Using Federated Servers
I am in the process of evaluating different methods to implement encryption of data in some of our databases. One of our priorities is to make the solution scaleable.

SQL Server 2005 provides some very nice functionality that would be a great way to perform the encryption/decryption work. The concern is the scalability of that solution. It appears all of the computational work to do the encryption/decryption would need to be done inside the SQL engine, since there isn€™t a way to get the keys out of the database. And keeping the keys in the database is a good thing!

We could scale up the SQL servers, but that quickly hits some cost and capacity constraints. I€™d rather pursue more economical scale-out methods.

I am exploring the plausibility of using a federation of SQL Servers to do the encryption/decryption work. The encryption keys could be copied across all the servers (ala backup/restore, or a variety of other ways). The notion is remote procedure calls would be made from the servers with the encrypted data, passing a security token and a table of encrypted values (to decrypt), or a security token and a table of unencrypted values (to encrypt). Has anyone worked with this architecture? Any glaring errors? Is there a different architecture that would address the scalability more effectively?

I looked into using CLRs, but didn€™t find a way to use them without exposing the key values. It appears the .Net model would require making the keys available to the application.

Any constructive comments would be appreciated.

SQL 2005: Symmetric Encryption With Asp.net Page, Login, Username, Password
I currently have a login page in asp.net 2.0 linked to a SQL 2005 database table that holds the usernames and passwords. At present, I am on an "honor system" where I do have access to the passwords of the other users but would like to change it so that I cannot know what the users' passwords are. Thank goodness that there is no personal information within the pages and the logins were created to keep a log of who logs in and what not. However, I would like to soon hold more personlized information, hence the need to encrypt each user's password even from myself.
I have read up on Symmetric Encryption for SQL 2005 but I would like to know if there is anything else available, any good proven methods that someone else has already tried.
Also, while testing out Symmetric Encryption, I noticed that I have to supply the encryption password for the decryption. However, if I know what the password for the encryption/decription is, does it not defeat the purpose of having the encryption at all, in terms of the "Admin" having access to sensitive information? Just curious if I understood the concept correctly or not.
Thanks in advance to all.

Slow Query....drop Index Works Fine!!!!!
We are running MS RS and SQL Server 2000 SP3.

We have one LEDGER, where all the daily activities are stored. The LEDGER table has 4 indexes (1 clustered and 3 non-clustered). To get AR we use this table.

Well problem is some times in 1-2 months, any simple AR query takes a long time and every other client gets slow response (queries are very slow or sometimes block).

If we DROP any index on LEDGER table and again put it back (RECREATE), all our queries work fine and faster. This goes on till 1-2 months, till we see the same issue again.

This is a classic case happened today. Queries were running fine till morning 8 AM. We upload some 50 thousand records to Ledger table (Data Conversion). Well after 30 mins, all simple AR queries started taking a long time. We DROPPED an index in LEDGER table and everything was faster....Just to be same we added back the same index again.......everything is Faster.....

What is this. ....is it our QUERY, index or huge Transactions or no free space ???

We are scheduled to run SP4, next week. But is there any solution in the mean time on what is this?

Also is they any way to KILL all SQL server processes that take more than a mins. We just don't want ALL our client to Slow down because of one query????

Problems Publishing My Personal Website - Works Fine Locally!
People,I'm trying to publish my first website and am having a few problems.I've got Visual Web Developer 2005 Express and am trying to use the Personal Website Starter Kit. (my SQL server is SQL Server Express Edition 2005 - which is also running on my local machine)It seems to work fine when I run it on my localhost, as soon as I ftp it up to my web hosting company, I get an error message (see below) :-An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) My hypothesis is :-It would appear to me that when running locally, the starter kit website uses my installation of SQL 2005 Express Edition, but when I upload all the files, I'm guessing the application is still trying to point at a local instance of SQL on my local PC which it now cannot see. I'm guessing I need to somehow upload the SQL database onto my web host (I've purchased 100M of SQL Server 2005 space), and point the application at that SQL instance instead. But I don't know if I'm right about all this, or indeed how to do it if I am. Can anyone help?Much thanks in advance,Will

Long Running Query In SQL 2005 But Works Fine In SQL 2000
I have a simple update statement that is running forever in SQL 2005 but works fine in SQL 2000. We have a new server we put SQL 2005, restored db. The table in question WEEKLYSALESHISTORY I even re-indexed all the indexes and rebuilt the stats as well. But still no luck, still running extremely long. 1 hour 20 minutes.

I'll try to give you some background on these table. Weeklysalehistory has approx 30 fields. I have 11 indesxes set up weekending date being one of them. And replication control has index on lasttrandatetime as well. So I think my indexes are fine.

/* Update WeekEnding Date for current weeks WeeklySales Records */
Update WeeklySalesHistory set
weekendingdate =
(SELECT LastTransDateTime from ReplicationControl
where TableName = 'WEEKHST')
where weekendingdate is null

Weekly sales has approx 100,000,000 rows
Replication control has 631,000 (Ithink I can delete some from here to bring it down to 100 or 200 records) Although I don't think this is issue since on 2000 has same thing and works fine.

I was trying to do this within SSIS and thought that was issue. I am new so SSIS but it runs long even if I just run it as a job with this simple Update statement so I think its something with tables, etc that is wrong.

One thing on noticed if I look at the statistics in SQL Server Management studio there is a ton of stats. some being statistics on indexes which makes sense then I have a ton of hind_113_9_6 and simiiar one like this. I must have 90 or so named like this. Not sure how to check on SQL 2000 all the stats to see if they moved over from there or what. I checked a few other tables and don't have all these extra stats. Could this be causing the issue do I need to delete all these extras? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SQL 2000 Partitioned View Works Fine, But CURSOR With FOR UPDATE Fails To Declare
This one has me stumped.

I created an updateable partioned view of a very large table. Now I get an error when I attempt to declare a CURSOR that SELECTs from the view, and a FOR UPDATE argument is in the declaration.

There error generated is:

Server: Msg 16957, Level 16, State 4, Line 3

FOR UPDATE cannot be specified on a READ ONLY cursor

Here is the cursor declaration:

declare some_cursor CURSOR

for

select *

from part_view

FOR UPDATE

Any ideas, guys? Thanks in advance for knocking your head against this one.

PS: Since I tested the updateability of the view there are no issues with primary keys, uniqueness, or indexes missing. Also, unfortunately, the dreaded cursor is requried, so set based alternatives are not an option - it's from within Peoplesoft.

Table Visibility Not Functioning Correctly On Server, Works Fine In Visual Studio
I have a report problem. I'm using a parameter to dynamically control visibility for two tables. If the parameter is set to one value, I want to switch one of the tables to invisible, if the parameter is set to another, I want the other table to be invisible instead.

This all works fine in Visual Studio. When I publish it to my report server, the visibility controls no longer function and both tables always display. Any ideas here?

Xp_sendmail: Failed With Mail Error 0x80040111 It Works Fine When You Do A Test From Enterprise Manager

Hello I am receiving the dreaded mail error listed above. I can send out a test E-mail from Enterprise Manager to operators, but I cannot run this Transact query:

EXEC master.dbo.xp_sendmail @RECIPIENTS = araz***@***.com(removed email address),
@SUBJECT = 'test'

I receive:

xp_sendmail: failed with mail error 0x80040111

I have stopped/restarted the SQL SERVER AGENT but haven't done much else as I haven't been able to.

Should it work through transact SQL if the test email works from Enterprise Manager?

This is SQL 2000 SP4 running on Win2K in the domain. Thank you.

OR Works Fine, When I Add AND Things Go Wrong (was &"Help With Simple Query&")
Hi I really need some help I have been banging my head against a brick wall for the last day or so...

I need some assistance with a query. Maybe what I am trying to do is not possible but I am sure it is.

I have a ASP page with a SQL 2005 Express backend. I would like to query a table based on a dropdownlist and checkboxes on my form.

The perameter in the drop down list is a service so I am querying records based on a service. The checkboxes are locations such as north,east, south and west. So I am building OR statements with these. For example I am looking for plumbers in the north and east. The OR part works fine. Its when I add the service into the query things go wrong.

Here is my tables

Company
---------

PK CompanyID
ComapnyName

Service
--------

PK ServiceID
FK CompanyID
ServiceName

Region
--------

PK RegionID
FK CompanyID
North
East
South
West

The below works fine when querying companies in different locations:

SELECT TblCompany.CompanyID, TblCompany.CompanyName, TblRegion.North, TblRegion.East, TblRegion.South, TblRegion.West
FROM TblCompany INNER JOIN
TblRegion ON TblCompany.CompanyID = TblRegion.CompanyID
WHERE (TblRegion.Scotland = @Pram1) OR
(TblRegion.Wales = @Pram2) OR
(TblRegion.NorthEast = @Pram3) OR
(TblRegion.NorthWest = @Pram4)

Now the problem is when I add in the service table. Sometimes I get all records returned. So even if I query a plumber in the south and east I get records for companies that dont even have a particular service in the perameter.

I can provide more info if need - I am guessing my design is all wrong. The way I see this happening from a GUI is a dropdown being the service WHERE perameter and the truefalse BIT tick boxes being the OR perameters - any help would be great - many thanks in advance.

Sql Report Works Fine On Internal Servers - Hosed On External Servers - Need Some Help
I have a report that was designed using SQL Reporting Services that sits on a SQL reporting server. It's nothing too exciting, it is essentially a three page application with legal jumbo on pages 2 and 3 and applicant data in fields on page 1.

We use rectangles to force page breaks to page 2 and to page 3.

When running the report on the report server, it shows and prints fine.

When running the report from the QA website internally, it shows and prints just fine.

When running the report from the production website from a machine internally, it shows and prints just fine.

When running the report from outside of the company network, the report is jacked. It obliterates large chunks of text, crams text together, and creates blank pages.

I need help in determining where I even begin with trouble shooting this!

MS Access Back-end Works Fine, But SQL Server Back End NOT Working For Access Project
Hi

I have 2 forms, each associated with its own table - they are linked together only by the fact that they share a common field, CustomerID....

I create a form (for table 1, called Customers) that brings up another form (for table 2, called Projects) based on the CustomerId that is selected in the first form from the Customers table - with a SQL back end it brings up ALL records in the second form (for the second table) with any CustomerIDs that exist in both tables - I set the link criteria [forms]![Customers]![CustomerID] and with an MS access back-end it works fine, but with a SQL back end it still returns ALL records with any ID that matches....not just the one I selected in the Customers form..... why??

thanks for reading this and for your help...
