Description

The New-SqlCngColumnMasterKeySettings cmdlet creates a SqlColumnMasterKeySettings object. The SqlColumnMasterKeySettings object references a key, stored in a key store supporting the Cryptography Next Generation (CNG) API.

This cmdlet sets the KeyStoreProviderName property to contain the name of the column master key store provider for CNG, then generates and sets the value of the KeyPath property to reference the specified key.
