data encryption standards

Is there any organization with standards for SQL Server database encryption
software? Does anyone have any warnings/advice about evaluating 3rd party en
cryption products?Rule #1: Alway evaluate on a test box.
Other than that, I don't believe there is an organization with standards
specifically for SQL Server. You would most likely want to check out
www.nist.gov for general encryption standards. You will probably also want
to
get confirmation from the vendors you interview what standards their product
s
adhere to.
Here are several of the third party product usually mentioned:
Whamware.Crypt from www.whamware.com
ActiveCrypt from www.activecrypt.com
dbEncrypt from www.appsecinc.com
Enjoy!
