Can I purchase off-the-shelf xps? (e.g., encrypt/decrypt function

Can anyone tell me if there is a market for extended stored procedures?
We are looking for an xp that performs a simple encrypt/decrypt function
that complies with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). For example, you
pass it a value and it encrypts or decrypts the value.
Are there third party xps available? And if so, where might I find these xps?
Thanks

This a full blown solution that automativcally creates views, triggers, etc.
to support the encryption function.
I was wondering if there might be a scalled down encryption solution; just a
dll that performs encrypt/decrypt and could be registered as an extended
stored procedure in SQL Server.
Does anyone know if something like this is available?
