SQL Server 2005: using symmetric keys to encrypt data. In SQL Server 2005, the recommended method for encrypting data is to use symmetric keys. A symmetric key can be created using the CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY statement. Information about symmetric keys is stored in the sys.symmetric_keys catalog.
Symmetric Encryption. Symmetric encryption (or pre-shared key encryption) uses a single key to both encrypt and decrypt data. Both the sender and the receiver need the same key to communicate. Symmetric key sizes are typically 128 or 256 bitsâthe larger the key size, the harder the key is to crack.
