In SSMS, browse to Database, Security, Always Encrypted Keys, right click Column Master Keys and click New Column Master Key:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the New Column Master Key box you can choose from several key stores. The most popular stores are Current User or Current Machine. See below for description.<\/p>\n

Local machine certificate store<\/strong>
\nThis type of certificate store is local to the computer and is global to all users on the computer. This certificate store is located in the registry under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE root.<\/p>\n

Current user certificate store<\/strong>
\nThis type of certificate store is local to a user account on the computer. This certificate store is located in the registry under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER root.<\/p>\n

Be aware that all current user certificate stores inherit the contents of the local machine certificate stores. For example, if a certificate is added to the local machine Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store<\/a>, all current user Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate stores also contain the certificate.<\/p>\n

In this example, we\u2019ll use Local Machine. Type a name for the Master Key, choose Key Store and click Generate Certificate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Click OK and a new Column Master Key will appear:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Do the same for any other master keys you would like to create. For example, Developer:\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To create a Column Encryption Key, right click on Column Encryption Key and choose New Column Encryption key:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Give the key a name and select the Column Master Key that you would like to associate it with:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Do the same for the Developer keys. You should have two column master keys and two column encryption keys:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To view Local Machine certificates:<\/p>\n

Open Certlm.msc<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Browse to Personal, Certificates:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Double click a certificate and go to the Detail tab where you will see the thumbprint:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Match this thumbprint with the Column Master Key in SSMS:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Right click the certificate in Certlm.msc and choose Properties. Enter a friendly name to identify which certificate belongs with the Column Master Key.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To Export and certificate, right click and choose All Tasks, Export:<\/p>\n
