When discussing the creation of encryption keys for our SQL 2008 servers, our ITSO said that he wants the keys created using a certificate authority rather than have SQL Server generate them. Is this possible? Can you point me to some material that discusses this?
Thanks!

well SQL Server certificates comply with the IETF X.509v3 certificate standard. you can use sqlserver to generate self signed certificates, or you can use externally generated certificates.
you can look at Certificate Creation Tool (Makecert.exe) or if you want to pay for it, look at the likes of "verisign" for certificates.
