Author Profile Icon Riccardo Becker
Riccardo Becker
Riccardo Becker works full time as a principal IT architect for CGI in the Netherlands. He holds several certifications and his background in computing goes way back to 1998, when he started working with good old Visual Basic 5.0 (or was it 6.0?). Ever since, he has fulfilled several roles, such as a developer, lead developer, architect, project leader, practice manager. Recently, he decided to accept the role of a principal IT architect where he focuses on innovation, cutting-edge technology, and specifically on Microsoft Azure, the Internet of Things, and cloud computing in general. In 2007, he joined the Microsoft LEAP program where he got a peek at the move Microsoft was about to make on their road to the cloud. Pat Helland gave him that insight, and since the first release of Microsoft Azure on PDC 2008, he started to focus on it, keeping track of the progress and the maturity of the platform. In the past few years, he has also done a lot of work on incubation with his employer, raising awareness of cloud computing in general and Microsoft Azure in particular.

Best practices

This section describes best practices with respect to the use of SQL Database and contains some code snippets and walkthroughs on how to implement these best practices.

Encryption and security

Encryption within Windows Azure SQL Database is the responsibility of the application, as it does not support the data encryption mechanisms for data that resides on the SQL database.

Obviously, it is not a good security approach to store passwords in source code. Store all your secrets encrypted in configuration files.

Encryption demo

To use encryption from your web or worker roles, use Pkcs12 Protected Configuration Provider, since the standard protected configuration providers in the .NET framework, for example, RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider, is not supported on the Windows Azure platform. If you connect to your instances of Windows Azure SQL Database from applications running on your own datacenter, it is still recommended that you use the configuration providers from the .NET framework...
