SignByAsymKey (Transact-SQL)
Signs plaintext with an asymmetric key
Syntax
SignByAsymKey( Asym_Key_ID , @plaintext [ , 'password' ] )
Arguments
- Asym_Key_ID
The ID of an asymmetric key in the current database. int.
- @plaintext
A variable of type nvarchar, char, varchar, or nchar containing data that will be signed with the asymmetric key.
- password
Password with which the private key is protected. nvarchar(128).
Return Types
varbinary with a maximum size of 8,000 bytes.
Remarks
Requires CONTROL permission on the asymmetric key.
Examples
A. Store data with its signature, generated with asymmetric key .
The following example creates a table, SignedData04, in which to store plaintext and its signature. It next inserts a record in the table, signed with asymmetric key PrimeKey, which is first decrypted with password 'pGFD4bb925DGvbd2439587y'.
-- Create a table in which to store the data
CREATE TABLE [SignedData04]( Description nvarchar(max), Data nvarchar(max), DataSignature varbinary(8000) );
GO
-- Store data together with its signature
DECLARE @clear_text_data nvarchar(max);
set @clear_text_data = N'Important numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17,
19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79,
83, 89, 97';
INSERT INTO [SignedData04]
VALUES( N'data encrypted by asymmetric key ''PrimeKey''',
@clear_text_data, SignByAsymKey( AsymKey_Id( 'PrimeKey' ),
@clear_text_data, N'pGFD4bb925DGvbd2439587y' ));
GO
