TDE - Changing the Certificate algorithm to SHA2

  • Hi,

    I implemented TDE on our Production Database environment. It is straight forward. Followed the set of scripts below:

    USE master;

    CREATE MASTER KEY

    ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'Pass@word1';

    GO

    USE master;

    CREATE CERTIFICATE TDECert

    WITH SUBJECT = 'TDE Certificate'

    GO

    CREATE DATABASE mssqltips_tde

    GO

    USE mssqltips_tde;

    CREATE DATABASE ENCRYPTION KEY

    WITH ALGORITHM = AES_256

    ENCRYPTION BY SERVER CERTIFICATE TDECert

    GO

    ALTER DATABASE mssqltips_tde

    SET ENCRYPTION ON

    Now a new client of ours wants us to use SHA2. I see that the certificate's signature hash algorithm is SHA1. They need it changed to SHA2.

    please see here to check what I mean - http://screencast.com/t/JfpLoljI7

    So looks like the default hash algorithm used when we create the certificate using above SQL is SHA1. How do I force SHA2 for this?

    Thanks for your help.
