A PublicKey describes a public key.

JSON representation
{ "type": enum (`KeyType`), "key": string }

Fields

Fields
`type`	`enum (KeyType)` Optional. The type of public key. If specified, it must match the public key used for the`key` field.
`key`	`string (bytes format)` Required. A public key. When this is specified in a request, the padding and encoding can be any of the options described by the respective 'KeyType' value. When this is generated by the service, it will always be an RFC 5280 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure containing an algorithm identifier and a key. A base64-encoded string.
