Hi,

I have used SQL Server's encryption to encryt/decrypt certain column data.

i.e. as in the article: http://dotnetslackers.com/articles/sql/IntroductionToSQLServerEncryptionAndSymmetricKeyEncryptionTutorial.aspx#596

I then include this decrypted value to send an email using database mail (using the encrypted values), thus an example:

hi.
please click on link
response.aspxid=0x000A45397C738846879A1A3E2FED78720100000005814AA656AF7990648901AEB731C095A8180B667EE44C13

what I need to know is : does sql server encryption method used contain any unsafe chars that will cause an issue in the querystring, i.e. like \ or &?

BTW in my sql server setup i use des3, i.e.:

CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY TestEncryptKey
WITH ALGORITHM = TRIPLE_DES
ENCRYPTION BY CERTIFICATE TestEncryptCert

Only if you used the "unsafe" characters when encrypting the value.
With that I mean the ASP page doesn't decrypt the value.
You have to do that yourself inside the page.
