use only FIPS 140-2-validated instances of algorithms and hashing functions in all instances in which encrypted or hashed data is imported to or exported from SQL Server 2016 and later versions. Additionally, this means that SQL Server 2016 and later versons will manage keys in a secure manner, as is required of FIPS 140-2-validated cryptographic modules. The key-management process also includes both key generation and key storage.
