Always Encrypted API reference for the JDBC driver

Download JDBC driver

Always Encrypted allows clients to encrypt sensitive data inside client applications and never reveal the encryption keys to the server. An Always Encrypted enabled driver installed on the client computer achieves this functionality by automatically encrypting and decrypting sensitive data in the client application.

The driver encrypts the data in sensitive columns before passing the data to SQL Server, and automatically rewrites queries to preserve the semantics to the application. Similarly, the driver transparently decrypts data stored in encrypted database columns that are in query results. For more information, see Always Encrypted (Database Engine) and Using Always Encrypted with the JDBC Driver.

Note

Always Encrypted is supported only by Microsoft JDBC Driver 6.0 or higher for SQL Server with Azure SQL Database and SQL Server 2016 and higher.

Always Encrypted API references

There are several new additions and modifications to the JDBC driver API for use in client applications that use Always Encrypted.

SQLServerConnection class

Name	Description
New connection string keyword: columnEncryptionSetting	columnEncryptionSetting=Enabled enables Always Encrypted functionality for the connection and columnEncryptionSetting=Disabled disables it. Accepted values are Enabled/Disabled. The default is Disabled.
New connection string keyword:(MS JDBC 7.4 onwards) keyVaultProviderClientId keyVaultProviderClientKey	keyVaultProviderClientId=<ClientID>;keyVaultProviderClientKey=<ClientKey> Registers SQLServerColumnEncryptionAzureKeyVaultProvider and uses ClientID and ClientKey values to retrieve Column Master Key from Azure Key Vault
New methods: public static void setColumnEncryptionTrustedMasterKeyPaths(Map<String, List\<String>> trustedKeyPaths) public static void updateColumnEncryptionTrustedMasterKeyPaths(String server, List\<String> trustedKeyPaths) public static void removeColumnEncryptionTrustedMasterKeyPaths(String server)	Allows you to set/update/remove a list of trusted key paths for a database server. If while processing an application query the driver receives a key path that's not on the list, the query will fail. This property provides extra protection against security attacks that involve a compromised server sending fake key paths, which may lead to leaking key store credentials.
New method: public static Map<String, List\<String>> getColumnEncryptionTrustedMasterKeyPaths()	Returns a list of trusted key paths for a database server.
New method: public static void registerColumnEncryptionKeyStoreProviders (Map\<String, SQLServerColumnEncryptionKeyStoreProvider> clientKeyStoreProviders)	Allows you to register custom key store providers. It's a dictionary that maps key store provider names to key store provider implementations. To use the JVM key store, you need to instantiate a SQLServerColumnEncryptionJVMKeyStoreProvider object with JVM keystore credentials and register it with the driver. The name for this provider must be 'MSSQL_JVM_KEYSTORE'. To use the Azure Key Vault store, you need to instantiate a SQLServerColumnEncryptionAzureKeyStoreProvider object and register it with the driver. The name for this provider must be 'AZURE_KEY_VAULT'.
New method: public static void unregisterColumnEncryptionKeyStoreProviders (Map\<String, SQLServerColumnEncryptionKeyStoreProvider> clientKeyStoreProviders)	Allows you to unregister all the custom key store providers by clearing the dictionary that maps key store provider names to key store provider implementations.
public final boolean getSendTimeAsDatetime()	Returns the setting of the sendTimeAsDatetime connection property.
public void setSendTimeAsDatetime(boolean sendTimeAsDateTimeValue)	Modifies the setting of the sendTimeAsDatetime connection property.

SQLServerConnectionPoolProxy class

Name	Description
public final boolean getSendTimeAsDatetime()	Returns the setting of the sendTimeAsDatetime connection property.
public void setSendTimeAsDatetime(boolean sendTimeAsDateTimeValue)	Modifies the setting of the sendTimeAsDatetime connection property.

Name	Description
public void setColumnEncryptionSetting(String columnEncryptionSetting)	Enables/disables Always Encrypted functionality for the data source object. The default is Disabled.

public String getKeyStoreAuthentication()	Gets the value of the keyStoreAuthentication setting for the data source object.
public void setKeyStoreSecret(String keyStoreSecret)	Sets the password for the Java keystore. The password for the keystore and the key must be the same. keyStoreAuthentication must be set with JavaKeyStorePassword.

Name	Description

SQLServerStatementColumnEncryptionSetting Enum

Specifies how data will be sent and received when reading and writing encrypted columns. Depending on your specific query, performance impact may be reduced by bypassing the Always Encrypted driver's processing when non-encrypted columns are being used. These settings can't be used to bypass encryption and gain access to plaintext data.

Syntax:

Public enum  SQLServerStatementColumnEncryptionSetting

Members:

Name	Description
UseConnectionSetting	Specifies that the command should default to the Always Encrypted setting in the connection string.
Enabled	Enables Always Encrypted for the query.
ResultSetOnly	Specifies that only the results of the command should be processed by the Always Encrypted routine in the driver. Use this value when the command has no parameters that require encryption.
Disabled	Disables Always Encrypted for the query.

The statement level setting for AE is added to the SQLServerConnection class and to the SQLServerConnectionPoolProxy class. The following methods in these classes are overloaded with the new setting.

Name	Description
public Statement createStatement(int nType, int nConcur, int statementHoldability, SQLServerStatementColumnEncryptionSetting stmtColEncSetting)	Creates a Statement object that will generate ResultSet objects with the given type, concurrency, holdability, and column encryption setting.
public CallableStatement prepareCall(String sql, int nType, int nConcur, int statementHoldability, SQLServerStatementColumnEncryptionSetting stmtColEncSetiing)	Creates a CallableStatement object with the given column encryption setting that will generate ResultSet objects with the given type, concurrency, and holdability.
public PreparedStatement prepareStatement(String sql, int autogeneratedKeys, SQLServerStatementColumnEncryptionSetting stmtColEncSetting)	Creates a PreparedStatement object with the given column encryption setting that has the capability to retrieve autogenerated keys.
public PreparedStatement prepareStatement(String sql, String[] columnNames, SQLServerStatementColumnEncryptionSetting stmtColEncSetting)	Creates a PreparedStatement object with the given column encryption setting that will generate ResultSet objects with the given column names.
public PreparedStatement prepareStatement(String sql, int[] columnIndexes, SQLServerStatementColumnEncryptionSetting stmtColEncSetting	Creates a PreparedStatement object with the given column encryption setting that will generate ResultSet objects with the given column indexes.
public PreparedStatement prepareStatement(String sql, int nType, int nConcur, int nHold, SQLServerStatementColumnEncryptionSetting stmtColEncSetting)	Creates a PreparedStatement object with the given column encryption setting that will generate ResultSet objects with the given type, concurrency, and holdability.

Note

If Always Encrypted is disabled for a query and the query has parameters that need to be encrypted (parameters that correspond to encrypted columns), the query will fail.

If Always Encrypted is disabled for a query and the query returns results from encrypted columns, the query will return encrypted values. The encrypted values will have the varbinary datatype.
