I need to use a Tool from a vendor?

Larry:

Before settling on a method, keep in mind the various uses the column value will be put to. For example, will it serve as a foreign key in any way? Will it be used as an index column?

Encrypting the value might affect how the table is searched and how it can relate to other tables. These might lead to one method over another.
