RE: Certificate Requirements for SQL Data Encryption

Hi Jedian,
I am sorry that I am not sure what your meaning of key attribute
requirements for the certificates is. If you meant that you wanted to
ecrypt data in SQL Server from your existing certificates issued by your
CA, You can refer to the following steps:
1. Load your certificate to your SQL Server by using CREATE CERTIFICATE.
You may refer to:
CREATE CERTIFICATE (Transact-SQL)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187798.aspx

2. Create a symmetric or asymmetric key to encrypt/decrpt your data. You
may refer to:
How to: Encrypt a Column of Data
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179331.aspx

If there is anything misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know. I
am glad to assist further.

Best regards,
Charles Wang
