I am late to this but Microsoft have improved the System.Security.Cryptography class with the implementation of the new Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman classes which are more secure than the previous version. This will improve application layer encryption so all that is needed is improved SQL Server based encryption.The reason is these classes cannot be used for CLR assembly so there must be a solution for the persisted data in SQL Server.

Elliptic Curve is modular Taniyama-Shimura
You have to love the fact that the whole Crypto class is not in Dot Net for the Mobile. Let's see if I'm out on the road or setting at a desk right next to the server where would I most need encryption? Hmm. Anybody? Want to hazard a guess?
