AZ-500 Exam - Question 368


You have an Azure SQL database.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CE

Always Encrypted in Azure SQL Database uses two types of keys: the column encryption key and the column master key. The column encryption key is used to encrypt the actual data within an encrypted column, while the column master key protects the column encryption key by encrypting it. Application developers need access to both these keys to retrieve and decrypt data in the database. Without the column encryption key, they cannot decrypt the data, and without the column master key, they cannot decrypt the column encryption key itself.
