Resource: CryptoKey

A CryptoKey represents a logical key that can be used for cryptographic operations.

A CryptoKey is made up of zero or more versions, which represent the actual key material used in cryptographic operations.

Fields
name

string

Output only. The resource name for this CryptoKey in the format projects/*/locations/*/keyRings/*/cryptoKeys/*.
primary

object (CryptoKeyVersion)

Output only. A copy of the "primary" CryptoKeyVersion that will be used by cryptoKeys.encrypt when this CryptoKey is given in EncryptRequest.name.

The CryptoKey's primary version can be updated via cryptoKeys.updatePrimaryVersion.

Keys with purpose ENCRYPT_DECRYPT may have a primary. For other keys, this field will be omitted.
purpose

enum (CryptoKeyPurpose)

Immutable. The immutable purpose of this CryptoKey.
createTime

string (Timestamp format)

Output only. The time at which this CryptoKey was created.

A timestamp in RFC3339 UTC "Zulu" format, with nanosecond resolution and up to nine fractional digits. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z" and "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z".
nextRotationTime

string (Timestamp format)

At nextRotationTime, the Key Management Service will automatically:

  1. Create a new version of this CryptoKey.
  2. Mark the new version as primary.

Key rotations performed manually via cryptoKeyVersions.create and cryptoKeys.updatePrimaryVersion do not affect nextRotationTime.

Keys with purpose ENCRYPT_DECRYPT support automatic rotation. For other keys, this field must be omitted.

A timestamp in RFC3339 UTC "Zulu" format, with nanosecond resolution and up to nine fractional digits. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z" and "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z".
versionTemplate

object (CryptoKeyVersionTemplate)

A template describing settings for new CryptoKeyVersion instances. The properties of new CryptoKeyVersion instances created by either cryptoKeyVersions.create or auto-rotation are controlled by this template.
labels

map (key: string, value: string)

Labels with user-defined metadata. For more information, see Labeling Keys.
importOnly

boolean

Immutable. Whether this key may contain imported versions only.
destroyScheduledDuration

string (Duration format)

Immutable. The period of time that versions of this key spend in the DESTROY_SCHEDULED state before transitioning to DESTROYED. If not specified at creation time, the default duration is 24 hours.

A duration in seconds with up to nine fractional digits, ending with 's'. Example: "3.5s".
cryptoKeyBackend

string

Immutable. The resource name of the backend environment where the key material for all CryptoKeyVersions associated with this CryptoKey reside and where all related cryptographic operations are performed. Only applicable if CryptoKeyVersions have a ProtectionLevel of [EXTERNAL_VPC][CryptoKeyVersion.ProtectionLevel.EXTERNAL_VPC], with the resource name in the format projects/*/locations/*/ekmConnections/*. Note, this list is non-exhaustive and may apply to additional ProtectionLevels in the future.
keyAccessJustificationsPolicy

object (KeyAccessJustificationsPolicy)

Optional. The policy used for Key Access Justifications Policy Enforcement. If this field is present and this key is enrolled in Key Access Justifications Policy Enforcement, the policy will be evaluated in encrypt, decrypt, and sign operations, and the operation will fail if rejected by the policy. The policy is defined by specifying zero or more allowed justification codes. https://cloud.google.com/assured-workloads/key-access-justifications/docs/justification-codes By default, this field is absent, and all justification codes are allowed.
Union field rotation_schedule. Controls the rate of automatic rotation. rotation_schedule can be only one of the following:
rotationPeriod

string (Duration format)

nextRotationTime will be advanced by this period when the service automatically rotates a key. Must be at least 24 hours and at most 876,000 hours.

If rotationPeriod is set, nextRotationTime must also be set.

Keys with purpose ENCRYPT_DECRYPT support automatic rotation. For other keys, this field must be omitted.

A duration in seconds with up to nine fractional digits, ending with 's'. Example: "3.5s".

CryptoKeyPurpose

CryptoKeyPurpose describes the cryptographic capabilities of a CryptoKey. A given key can only be used for the operations allowed by its purpose. For more information, see Key purposes.

Enums
CRYPTO_KEY_PURPOSE_UNSPECIFIED Not specified.
ENCRYPT_DECRYPT CryptoKeys with this purpose may be used with cryptoKeys.encrypt and cryptoKeys.decrypt.
ASYMMETRIC_SIGN CryptoKeys with this purpose may be used with cryptoKeyVersions.asymmetricSign and cryptoKeyVersions.getPublicKey.
ASYMMETRIC_DECRYPT CryptoKeys with this purpose may be used with cryptoKeyVersions.asymmetricDecrypt and cryptoKeyVersions.getPublicKey.
RAW_ENCRYPT_DECRYPT CryptoKeys with this purpose may be used with cryptoKeyVersions.rawEncrypt and cryptoKeyVersions.rawDecrypt. This purpose is meant to be used for interoperable symmetric encryption and does not support automatic CryptoKey rotation.
MAC CryptoKeys with this purpose may be used with cryptoKeyVersions.macSign.

CryptoKeyVersionTemplate

A CryptoKeyVersionTemplate specifies the properties to use when creating a new CryptoKeyVersion, either manually with cryptoKeyVersions.create or automatically as a result of auto-rotation.

JSON representation 
{
  "protectionLevel": enum (ProtectionLevel),
  "algorithm": enum (CryptoKeyVersionAlgorithm)
}
Fields
protectionLevel

enum (ProtectionLevel)

ProtectionLevel to use when creating a CryptoKeyVersion based on this template. Immutable. Defaults to SOFTWARE.
algorithm

enum (CryptoKeyVersionAlgorithm)

Required. Algorithm to use when creating a CryptoKeyVersion based on this template.

For backwards compatibility, GOOGLE_SYMMETRIC_ENCRYPTION is implied if both this field is omitted and CryptoKey.purpose is ENCRYPT_DECRYPT.

KeyAccessJustificationsPolicy

A KeyAccessJustificationsPolicy specifies zero or more allowed AccessReason values for encrypt, decrypt, and sign operations on a CryptoKey.

JSON representation 
{
  "allowedAccessReasons": [
    enum (AccessReason)
  ]
}
Fields
allowedAccessReasons[]

enum (AccessReason)

The list of allowed reasons for access to a CryptoKey. Zero allowed access reasons means all encrypt, decrypt, and sign operations for the CryptoKey associated with this policy will fail.

AccessReason

Describes the reason for a data access. Please refer to https://cloud.google.com/assured-workloads/key-access-justifications/docs/justification-codes for the detailed semantic meaning of justification reason codes.

Enums
REASON_UNSPECIFIED Unspecified access reason.
CUSTOMER_INITIATED_SUPPORT Customer-initiated support.
GOOGLE_INITIATED_SERVICE Google-initiated access for system management and troubleshooting.

MODIFIED_CUSTOMER_INITIATED_ACCESS

Customer uses their account to perform any access to their own data which their IAM policy authorizes, and one of the following is true:

  • A Google administrator has reset the root-access account associated with the user's organization within the past 7 days.
  • A Google-initiated emergency access operation has interacted with a resource in the same project or folder as the currently accessed resource within the past 7 days.
MODIFIED_GOOGLE_INITIATED_SYSTEM_OPERATION

Google systems access customer data to help optimize the structure of the data or quality for future uses by the customer, and one of the following is true:

  • A Google administrator has reset the root-access account associated with the user's organization within the past 7 days.
  • A Google-initiated emergency access operation has interacted with a resource in the same project or folder as the currently accessed resource within the past 7 days.
GOOGLE_RESPONSE_TO_PRODUCTION_ALERT Google-initiated access to maintain system reliability.
CUSTOMER_AUTHORIZED_WORKFLOW_SERVICING

One of the following operations is being executed while simultaneously encountering an internal technical issue which prevented a more precise justification code from being generated:

  • Your account has been used to perform any access to your own data which your IAM policy authorizes.
  • An automated Google system operates on encrypted customer data which your IAM policy authorizes.
  • Customer-initiated Google support access.
  • Google-initiated support access to protect system reliability.
