MS SQL Server 2005 Adds Security Features

nycsubway writes "Microsoft is planning to add in its own encryption and decryption to its newest version of SQL Server. From the article: 'The company is writing complex encryption and decryption functionality directly into the product so customers don't have to procure security features from a third party, or roll their own when the product becomes generally available next year.' I would also hope the default sa/password will no longer be there."

Any microsoft product having any security would be an improvement, and in their case an innovation.
