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.
With this approach, three keys are created for each tenant as part of the provisioning process: a symmetric key and an asymmetric key pair consisting of a public key and a private key. The more-efficient symmetric key is used to encrypt the tenant's critical data for storage.
