Encryption and SSL and Email

I am running MS 2003 Server with SQL Server 2000 including SP4 which I
installed yesterday. In addition, I have also installed SOAP Toolkit 3.0,
SQLXML 3.0 SP3 and SQLNS 2.0 SP1...not sure how much of this is relavent to
my question...
I am designing a web-page which sits behind an SSL...how do I encrypt my
data...i am accepting credit card and banking account information on this
page and then want to have a secure email sent to my outlook....so really
two questions here..
1. how do I encrypt data?
2. how do I send secure and/or encrypted email?
thanksConsider posting this question to security newsgroups. There are no inbuilt
data encrytion routines in SQL Server, so if will have to roll out your own
functions. You can utilize the Cryptography APIs to come up with your own.
Regarding the emails, AFAIK xp_sendmail cannot send encrypted emails from
SQL Server.
