For encrypted backups: http://www.quest.com/litespeed_for_sql_server
Search Books Online for "encryption" to understand how to encrypt the
network protocol.
Encrypting the entire database rarely makes sense. If you need to store
or transmit the database via an insecure medium then use an encrypted
backup.

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.
