| General |
- Name – change the name of the encryption key.
- Type – indicates that this is a database encryption key.
- Database – indicates what database the encryption key is for.
The default is master, since the database
encryption key is created only in the master
database.
- Owner – you can change the owner of the encryption key if you
have change permission.
- Creation date – shows when the encryption key was created.
- ID – shows the ID number of the encryption key.
- Key length (bits) – shows the key length, in bits. The only
valid value is 256.
- Key algorithm – shows the algorithm. For database encryption
keys, the only valid value is AES.
- Initialization vector – shows the initialization vector for the
database encryption key. The only valid value is "random."
- Encrypted by – indicates that the database encryption key was
created by the master key. If you used a dual-master key, to
create the database encryption key with dual control selected,
you can change the setting if you have change permission.
