There are no supported encryption functions in SQL Server 2000. Data
encryption is a proposed feature of SQL Server 2005, but until then, you
either have to "roll your own" (which is arguably very hard to do well)
or use features of your front-end application for encryption and
decryption so that nothing unencrypted resides on the server. Depending
on what you are trying to accomplish, the security model for SQL Server
may provide other features to help you out.
