GetPublicKey Method

Retrieves the public key of an asymmetric key pair.

Syntax

googlekms.getPublicKey(keyName, versionId, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method retrieves the public key of the asymmetric key pair version specified by KeyName and VersionId. The algorithm of the key pair version is also retrieved. If successful, this method populates the PublicKey and PublicKeyAlgorithm properties.
