NAME

gcloud kms - manage cryptographic keys in the cloud

SYNOPSIS

gcloud kms GROUP | COMMAND [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

DESCRIPTION

The gcloud kms command group lets you generate, use, rotate and destroy Google Cloud KMS keys.

Cloud KMS is a cloud-hosted key management service that lets you manage encryption for your cloud services the same way you do on-premises. You can generate, use, rotate and destroy AES256 encryption keys. Cloud KMS is integrated with IAM and Cloud Audit Logging so that you can manage permissions on individual keys, and monitor how these are used. Use Cloud KMS to protect secrets and other sensitive data which you need to store in Google Cloud Platform.

More information on Cloud KMS can be found here: https://cloud.google.com/kms/ and detailed documentation can be found here: https://cloud.google.com/kms/docs/
