Returns one row for each cryptographic property associated with a securable.
| Column name | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| class | tinyint | Identifies class of thing on which property exists. 1 = Object or column |
| class_desc | nvarchar(60) | Description of the class of thing on which property exists. OBJECT_OR_COLUMN |
| major_id | int | ID of thing on which property exists, interpreted according to class |
| thumbprint | varbinary(32) | SHA-1 hash of the certificate or asymmetric key used. |
| crypt_type | char(4) | Encryption type. SPVC = Encrypted by certificate private key SPVA = Encrypted by asymmetric private key CPVC = Counter signature by certificate private key CPVA = Counter signature by asymmetric key |
