I'm trying to do some cryptography for SQL Server 2000, and I know that only SQL 2005+ comes with built-in functionality for doing this natively.

Do you know any open source implementation that I can use for free of RSA-2048 cryptography?

A: 

Check open source libraries under Elliptic curve cryptography Which should you should be able to use following developer guide

I can't use these libraries from SQL Server 2000 procedures =/

Ah, sorry, didn't check the version numbers

A: 

I believe you need Extended Stored Procedures to do this. You can make them yourself building on one of the many C or C++ open-source implementations or the Windows CryptoAPI.

Alternatively a quick Google search reveals XP_CRYPT which is an implementation of this (but it is not free if you want RSA with any secure keylength).
