Change properties of an asymmetric key.
Syntax: ALTER ASYMMETRIC KEY Asym_Key option options WITH PRIVATE KEY ( password_option [, password_option]) REMOVE PRIVATE KEY ATTESTED BY = 'path_to_dll' REMOVE ATTESTED OPTION password_options ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'password' DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'old_password'
If there is no database master key then ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD is required.
The database master key must be opened before it can be used to protect a private key.
Examples
ALTER ASYMMETRIC KEY MyKey01
WITH PRIVATE KEY (
DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'fmsA$ek7i82bv64fobjsd2764',
ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '35agRofg0sjlkfssJ454GX72$262');
