Question : SQL Server 2008 Security

Hi

I want to develop an desktop application the shall be able to access a SQL Server remotly. That means that the client can access the SQL Server without being on the network or through VPN. I want to make an desktop application for better functionalitet and better performance.

But how can i secure/encrypt the connection and data communication between the client and the SQL Server. I would of course not use port 1433 but instead use another port.


Im going to write it in C# .NET 4.0.  Thanks !

But I think they are not cheap.
