I'm afraid not. SQL statements are generated in a way incompatible
with SPs. Perhaps you can achieve your goal (still without SP, I'm
afraid) with the "modular" Database Actions from scratchpad. You can
have your encryption in a specialized input module or use the
MessageDigestMetaModule for it. There's no specialized authenticator
action in the modular package, but DatabaseSelectAction should do the
trick.
