1 Protect Your Data's Privacy! Data Encryption with SQL Server Joe Kuemerle @jkuemerle www.kuemerle.com

2 Background of Joe Kuemerle Lead Developer at BookingBuilder Technologies Over 15 years of development experience with a broad range of technologies Focused on application and data security, coding best practices and regulatory compliance Presenter at community, regional and national events.

3 What Is Encryption

4 Encryption is the process of mathematically altering data in a consistent, reversible fashion. It should be used to store sensitive information that will need to be retrieved later. Encryption relies on a secret that is the only viable way to reverse the mathematical process Encryption can be Symmetric where a single value (the encryption key) is used to both encrypt and decrypt the data Or Encryption can be Asymmetric where there are two values in that data encrypted with Value 1 can only be decrypted with Value 2 and vice versa. This is also know as Public Key Encryption

5 What Is Encryption “Encryption is the process of substituting a small secret in place of a large secret”

6 Symmetric Encryption Asymmetric Encryption

7 Certificates Certificates are used to store asymmetric keys and consist of a private key and public key. SQL Server provides built in management of certificates Do not use use certificates to encrypt data, it is slow and can be vulnerable when storing lengthy values. Use a symmetric key to encrypt the data and a certificate to encrypt the symmetric key.

8 Hashes Hashes are not an encryption method. A hash takes an input value and transforms it to a unique value that is infeasible to convert back to the original value. Hashes are not for storing data that needs to be re- read but are for proving knowledge of a secret without the actual secret being revealed. Hashes are ideal for verifying passwords. The actual password is unimportant we just need to have the user prove that they know the password.

10 Hashes Best practices call for the use of SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 or higher functions Bcrypt is a “Future-Adaptable” open source hashing algorithm Do not use MD5 or SHA1as there are proven methods for undermining the hash results. SQL Server 2005/2008 only support MD5 & SHA1, Denali supports SHA256 SHA384 and SHA512
