Create a Windows Key Storage Provider (KSP) that effectively allows usage of Azure Key Vault as a virtual hardware security module (HSM) If windows could use Azure Key Vault as a KSP, it would better secure the private keys of any certificates in Windows - effectively acting as. Use Azure Key Vault to encrypt keys and small secrets like passwords that use keys stored in hardware security modules (HSMs). For more assurance, import or generate keys in HSMs and Microsoft processes your keys in FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated HSMs (hardware and firmware). With Key Vault.
The -sky exchange sets the Subject Key Type to Exchange and allows encrypting/decrypting values using the certificate.

PFX files along with CER files allows to encrypt/decrypt data without the need for Key Vault. You can share the public key, CER, to your clients, who can then use it to encrypt data before sending it to the server. Using the private key, available in PFX, the server can decrypt this data
Creating a Key in Key Vault from PFX file
Now that I am able to use the PFX file (which essentially is a software-protected key) to encrypt/decrypt data, I will upload this to the Azure Key Vault so that it stays secure there. If you are new to Azure Key Vault and want to get started check my other posts.
To upload the PFX to Key Vault, you can use the Add-AzureKeyVaultKey PowerShell cmdlet and specify the PFX file path and password.

Smscaster 3.7 key generator.
The PFX file uploaded to the Key Vault is just like any other key vault key, the only difference being you give the public and private key. Once the key is created in Key Vault, the private part of the key stays secure within the Key Vault and is not accessible outside (except from the original PFX/PVK file).
Storing PFX file as a Secret
PFX files can also be stored as Secrets in Key Vault which allows you to retrieve and re-create the certificate as required. To add the certificate as a secret you can use the below PowerShell script (taken from here).
The script exports the certificate to a byte array and converts it to Base64 string representation and saves it to Key Vault as Secret using the Set-AzureKeyVaultSecret PowerShell cmdlet. You can export the certificate along with the password if required, so that when you recreate the certificate file, it will be password protected.
