I know this might not be completely related, but if you simply want to exclude columns in JSON responses all you have to do is place [JsonIgnore] above the property. I use Entity so by default the (encrypted) password is included in the model. Even if the password is encrypted you still don't want the end-user to get it. One way to maintain access to that property without including it in a response is shown below.

In the below example the Password field would be removed from the Json response because we added [JsonIgnore] to the model.

public int Id { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }

[JsonIgnore]
public string Password { get; set; } // <--- Removed from JSON response

public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string MiddleName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string PhoneNumber { get; set; }
public bool Active { get; set; }

Here is a sample JSON response.

{
  "id": 1,
  "email": "ddavis@example.com",
  "firstName": "Daniel",
  "middleName": "Cool-Guy",
  "lastName": "Davis",
  "phoneNumber": "12055550000",
  "active": true
}
