I'm researching software to do Encryption/Decryption/Hashing. Currently I'm researching software for just a couple of things. Need to encrypt/decrypt server files, and secondly hash/encrypt/decrypt tables and columns within SQL Server. Looking for software that be easy to implement and is reasonably priced. Would be nice if it could easily be implemented into existing web application with minimal code changes to encrypt/hash/decrypt existing column level data.
So far I'm looking at CryptoAPI and ActiveCrypt. Any comments on either one of these? Is one better than the other regarding the encryption alorithms supported?
Any help or suggestions would be great.

Are you look for COM or anything else that can be used on SQL server? If you want to do encryption/decryption on SQL server, you may consider ActiveCipher, which is based on extended stored procedures. I have used it before, it's pretty fast as it runs in the same process as the SQL Server. You can visit the site: http://www.activecipher.com

Thanks for the link. I will look into ActiveCipher. Right now, I have developed a SQL Server SP solution using CryptoAPI via CAPICOM. Seems to work fine, but possible other options are better. Thanks again for the link.

Have you considered Protegrity? It's my impression that they offer the encryption solution recommended by Microsoft. They're also having a Webcast on Tuesday morning (on demand replay if anyone reads this after the fact). http://www.microsoft.com/usa/webcasts/upcoming/1764.asp
