gcloud alpha kms encrypt

NAME
gcloud alpha kms encrypt - encrypt a plaintext file using a key
SYNOPSIS
gcloud alpha kms encrypt --ciphertext-file=CIPHERTEXT_FILE --plaintext-file=PLAINTEXT_FILE [--additional-authenticated-data-file=ADDITIONAL_AUTHENTICATED_DATA_FILE] [--key=KEY] [--keyring=KEYRING] [--location=LOCATION] [--skip-integrity-verification] [--version=VERSION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) Encrypts the given plaintext file using the given CryptoKey and writes the result to the named ciphertext file. The plaintext file must not be larger than 64KiB.

If an additional authenticated data file is provided, its contents must also be provided during decryption. The file must not be larger than 64KiB.

The flag --version indicates the version of the key to use for encryption. By default, the primary version is used.

If --plaintext-file or --additional-authenticated-data-file is set to '-', that file is read from stdin. Similarly, if --ciphertext-file is set to '-', the ciphertext is written to stdout.

By default, the command performs integrity verification on data sent to and received from Cloud KMS. Use --skip-integrity-verification to disable integrity verification.

EXAMPLES
The following command will read the file 'path/to/plaintext', encrypt it using the CryptoKey frodo with the KeyRing fellowship and Location global, and write the ciphertext to 'path/to/ciphertext'.
gcloud alpha kms encrypt --key=frodo --keyring=fellowship --location=global --plaintext-file=path/to/input/plaintext --ciphertext-file=path/to/output/ciphertext
REQUIRED FLAGS
--ciphertext-file=CIPHERTEXT_FILE
File path of the ciphertext file to output.
--plaintext-file=PLAINTEXT_FILE
File path of the plaintext file to encrypt.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--additional-authenticated-data-file=ADDITIONAL_AUTHENTICATED_DATA_FILE
File path to the optional file containing the additional authenticated data.
--key=KEY
The key to use for encryption.
--keyring=KEYRING
Key ring of the key.
--location=LOCATION
Location of the keyring.
--skip-integrity-verification
Skip integrity verification on request and response API fields.
--version=VERSION
Version to use for encryption.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS

NOTES
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:
