The GoogleKMS control provides an easy-to-use interface for the Google Cloud Key Management Service.

Syntax

GoogleKMS

Remarks

The GoogleKMS control makes it easy to work with the Google Cloud Key Management Service (KMS) in a secure manner using TLS. Google KMS allows you to create and manage key rings that contain symmetric and asymmetric keys. Each key has one or more versions which can be used for cryptographic operations.

To begin, register for a Google Cloud account. Set the GoogleProjectId property to your full Google Cloud project Id, and set the Location property to the Google Cloud location you'd like to make requests against (by default, the us multi-regional location is used). Note that each location's resources are completely separate from the others'.

This control requires authentication via OAuth 2.0. First, perform OAuth authentication using the OAuth property to set the appropriate fields for the chosen OAuthClientProfile and OAuthGrantType.

The control has the following defaults:

Application Profile

This profile encompasses the most basic grant types that OAuth supports. When this profile is set, all the requests and response handling is done by the control. Depending on the grant type, this may involve launching a browser so a user can login to authenticate with a authorization server. It may also involve starting an embedded web server to receive a response from a redirect.

To start the authentication and authorization process, the Authorize method should be called. If the authorization and authentication was successful, then the OAuthAccessToken property will be populated. Additionally, if a refresh token was provided the OAuthRefreshToken property will be populated as well. These values of the fields are for informational purposes. The control will also cache these tokens along with when the OAuthAccessToken will be expired. When a method that makes requests to the service provider is called or the Authorize method is called the control will automatically check to see if the access token is expired. If it is, it will then automatically try to get a new OAuthAccessToken. If the Authorize method was not used and user interaction would be required, the control will throw an error which can be caught. When user interaction is needed depends on what grant type is set in the OAuthGrantType property. To force the component to only check the access token when the Authorize method is called, the OAuthAutomaticRefresh configuration setting can be set to false.

A brief description of the supported values for the OAuthGrantType property are below. For more information, see the service documentation.

Authorization Code

When using the Authorization Code grant type, the control will use an authorization code to get an access token. For this OAuthGrantType the control expects a OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, OAuthServerAuthURL, and OAuthServerTokenURL to be set. When the Authorize method is called, the component will start the embedded web server and launch the browser so the user can authorize the application. Once the user authorizes, the service provider will redirect them to the embedded web server and the control will parse the authorization code, setting the OAuthAuthorizationCode property, from the redirect. Immediately, the control will make a request to the token server to exchange the authorization code for an access token. The token server will return an access token and possibly a refresh token. If the OAuthRefreshToken property is set, or a refresh token is cached, then the control will not launch the browser and use the refresh token in its request to the token server instead of an authorization code.

Example: GoogleKMS googlekms = new GoogleKMS(); googlekms.OAuth.ClientProfile = CloudOAuthClientProfiles.cocpApplication; googlekms.OAuth.GrantType = OAuthSettingsGrantTypes.cogtAuthorizationCode; googlekms.OAuth.ClientId = CLIENT_ID; googlekms.OAuth.ClientSecret = CLIENT_SECRET; googlekms.Authorize();

Implicit

Note: This grant type is considered insecure and should only be used when necessary.

When using the Implicit grant type, the control will request the authorization server to get an access token. For this OAuthGrantType the control expects a OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and OAuthServerAuthURL to be set. When the Authorize method is called, the component will start the embedded web server and launch the browser so the user can authorize the application. Once the user authorizes, the service provider will redirect them to the embedded web server and the control will parse the access token from the redirect.

A disadvantage of the grant type is that can not use a refresh token to silently get a new access token. Most service providers offer a way to silently get a new access token. See the service documentation for specifics. This means the control will not be able to automatically get a fresh token once it expires.

Web Profile

External OAuth Support

Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_VALUE

Assign this value to the Authorization property before attempting any operations. Setting the Authorization property will cause the control to ignore the values set in the OAuth property.

For Example: Oauth oauth = new Oauth(); oauth.ClientId = "CLIENT_ID"; oauth.ClientSecret = "CLIENT_SECRET"; oauth.AuthorizationScope = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"; oauth.ServerAuthURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth"; oauth.ServerTokenURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"; oauth.GrantType = OauthGrantTypes.ogtAuthorizationCode; googlekms.Authorization = oauth.GetAuthorization(); Consult the documentation for the service for more information about supported scope values and more details on OAuth authentication.

Using the Control

First, select which key ring the control should interact with using the KeyRing property. If the selected key ring does not yet exist, use the CreateKeyRing method to create it. Note that key rings cannot be deleted later, and therefore key ring names can never be reused within a given Location (unless you create a new Google Cloud project).

Once a key ring has been selected (and created, if necessary), keys can be created in it using the CreateKey method. A key consists of one or more key versions (which themselves can be thought of as distinct resources), each of which has its own cryptographic material. Symmetric keys have a primary version which is used when encrypting data. Asymmetric keys do not have a primary version; a specific version must always be targeted.

When a key is created, a single key version is automatically created for it as well (and for symmetric keys, this becomes the primary version). Additional key versions can be created using the CreateVersion method. Each key version receives a sequentially-assigned version Id, and the first version's Id is always 1. As will become apparent, most operations are performed with key versions, not keys. googlekms.KeyRing = "MyKeyRing"; googlekms.CreateKeyRing(); // When a key is created, you specify its name, purpose, algorithm, and protection level. // Refer to the CreateKey method's documentation for more information. googlekms.CreateKey("MyKey", 1, "GOOGLE_SYMMETRIC_ENCRYPTION", false); // When a new version is created, the algorithm and protection level are reused. googlekms.CreateVersion("MyKey");

Like key rings, keys and key versions cannot be deleted. However, a key version can be disabled, or its cryptographic material can be destroyed, making it permanently unusable. To enable or disable a key version, use the SetVersionEnabled method; to destroy a key version's cryptographic material, use the DestroyVersion method. Note that the latter doesn't destroy the cryptographic material immediately; instead, it schedules it for destruction 24 hours from the time of the call. The CancelDestruction method can be called within this waiting period to cancel the destruction. // Disable a key version to make it unusable until it is re-enabled. googlekms.SetVersionEnabled("MyKey", "7", false); // Destroy a key version's cryptographic material to make it permanently unusable. googlekms.DestroyVersion("MyKey", "7"); // The destruction takes place after a 24 hour waiting period; it can be canceled during that period. // If destruction is canceled, the key version is always placed into a disabled state. googlekms.CancelDestruction("MyKey", "7");

To list key rings, keys, or key versions, use the ListKeyRings, ListKeys, or ListVersions method. If there are multiple pages of results when listing a resource, the appropriate marker property will be populated, and all pages of results can be accumulated by continuing to call the relevant listing method until the marker property is empty. do { googlekms.ListKeyRings(); } while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(googlekms.KeyRingMarker)); foreach (GoogleKeyRing keyring in googlekms.KeyRings) { Console.WriteLine(keyring.Name); } googlekms.KeyRing = "MyKeyRing"; do { googlekms.ListKeys(); } while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(googlekms.KeyMarker)); foreach (GoogleKey key in googlekms.Keys) { Console.WriteLine(key.Name); } do { googlekms.ListKeyVersions("MyKey"); } while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(googlekms.VersionMarker)); foreach (GoogleKeyVersion version in googlekms.Versions) { Console.WriteLine(version.Name + " " + version.VersionId); }

Depending on a key's purpose, it can be used to perform different cryptographic operations. Keys whose purpose is encryption/decryption can be used in Encrypt and Decrypt operations. Keys whose purpose is sign/verify can be used in Sign and Verify operations. To perform a cryptographic operation, use InputData or InputFile to supply the input data that should be processed. All operations will output the result data to OutputData or OutputFile (except Verify; refer to its documentation for more information).

Note that Google does not support server-side asymmetric encryption or asymmetric verification. The control performs these operations locally as a convenience to account for this. // Create an asymmetric key whose purpose is encryption/decryption. googlekms.CreateKey("MyAsymmEncKey", 3, "RSA_DECRYPT_OAEP_3072_SHA256", false); // Encrypt the string "Test123" and write the encrypted data to an output file. googlekms.InputData = "Test123"; googlekms.OutputFile = "C:/temp/enc.dat"; googlekms.Encrypt("MyAsymmEncKey", "1"); // ...Later, decrypt the data again. googlekms.InputFile = "C:/temp/enc.dat"; googlekms.OutputFile = ""; // So that the data will be output to the OutputData property. googlekms.Decrypt("MyAsymmEncKey", "1");

The control also supports a variety of other functionality, including:

• Retrieval of a single resource's information with GetKeyRingInfo, GetKeyInfo, or GetVersionInfo.
• Getting an asymmetric key's public key using GetPublicKey.
• Label support using AddLabel and the Labels properties.
• Updating key information with UpdateKey and SetPrimaryVersion.
• And more!

Config is a generic method available in every control. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the control.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

CreateKey Method (GoogleKMS Control)

Creates a new key.

Syntax

googlekmscontrol.CreateKey KeyName, Purpose, Algorithm, UseHSM

Remarks

This method creates a new key with the specified KeyName in the currently-selected KeyRing. A key version is automatically created when this occurs (and for symmetric keys, it automatically becomes the primary version).

The value passed for KeyName must consist solely of alphanumeric characters, underscores, and hyphens; and may be up to 63 characters in length.

The Purpose parameter specifies what the key's purpose should be. Possible values are:

• 1: A symmetric key used for encryption and decryption.
• 2: An asymmetric key used for signing and verification.
• 3: An asymmetric key used for encryption and decryption.

For symmetric keys, the only valid value for Algorithm is GOOGLE_SYMMETRIC_ENCRYPTION (which is assumed if empty string is passed). For asymmetric keys, the algorithm specifies the key type, repeats the purpose (either SIGN or DECRYPT), and dictates the algorithm that will be used for the relevant cryptographic operations; and valid values are:

• RSA_SIGN_PSS_2048_SHA256: RSASSA-PSS 2048 bit key with a SHA256 digest
• RSA_SIGN_PSS_3072_SHA256: RSASSA-PSS 3072 bit key with a SHA256 digest

• EC_SIGN_P256_SHA256: ECDSA on the NIST P-256 curve with a SHA256 digest
• EC_SIGN_P384_SHA384: ECDSA on the NIST P-384 curve with a SHA384 digest

Refer to Google's CryptoKeyVersionAlgorithm documentation page for more information.

The UseHSM parameter specifies whether the key's protection level should be SOFTWARE (false) or HSM (true).

Note that the values passed for Algorithm and UseHSM will be stored on the server as template values, and used again anytime a new key version is created with CreateVersion. The template algorithm can be changed at any time using UpdateKey; the template protection level cannot be changed.

If there are any items in the Labels properties, they will be applied to the newly-created key. Keys may have up to 64 labels.

For symmetric keys, the RotationPeriod and NextRotateDate configuration settings can also be used to enable automatic rotation, refer to their documentation for more information.

CreateVersion Method (GoogleKMS Control)

Creates a new key version.

Syntax

googlekmscontrol.CreateVersion KeyName

Remarks

This method creates a new version of the key specified by KeyName and returns the Id of the version. Note that, for symmetric keys, the new version will not become the primary version; SetPrimaryVersion can be used to update the primary version if desired.

The key's current KeyTemplateAlgorithm and KeyTemplateProtectionLevel are used to create the key version. To change the key's template algorithm prior to creating a new version, use the UpdateKey method.

Decrypt Method (GoogleKMS Control)

Decrypts data using a key.

Syntax

googlekmscontrol.Decrypt KeyName, VersionId

Remarks

This method decrypts data using the key specified by KeyName and (for asymmetric keys) VersionId.

The data to decrypt is taken from the the specified InputFile or the InputData property. The decrypted data is output to the the specified OutputFile or the OutputData property.

For asymmetric keys, VersionId must be specified.

DestroyVersion Method (GoogleKMS Control)

Schedules the specified key version's cryptographic material for destruction.

Syntax

googlekmscontrol.DestroyVersion KeyName, VersionId

Remarks

This method schedules the destruction of the cryptographic material for the key version specified by KeyName and VersionId. The key version itself is not deleted, just its cryptographic material.

If this method is successful, the key version's VersionState changes to DESTROY_SCHEDULED, and the its cryptographic material will be destroyed after 24 hours. During this waiting period, the destruction can be canceled using the CancelDestruction method.

Important: Destroying a key version's cryptographic material makes the key version permanently unusable. If a key version must not be used by may be needed again in the future, disable using SetVersionEnabled instead.

DoEvents Method (GoogleKMS Control)

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

googlekmscontrol.DoEvents 

Remarks

The data to encrypt is taken from the the specified InputFile or the InputData property. The encrypted data is output to the the specified OutputFile or the OutputData property.

For symmetric keys, VersionId must be empty; the server always uses the primary version of the symmetric key. (Unless the ForceSymmetricEncryption configuration setting is enabled, in which case VersionId can be used to specify a non-primary version.)

For asymmetric keys, VersionId must be specified. Note, however, that Google does not support server-side asymmetric encryption (only decryption), so this method will instead call GetPublicKey internally and then use the public key to encrypt the input data locally. This functionality is offered as a convenience.

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).

Message is the log entry.

LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are as follows:

• "Info"
• "RequestHeaders"
• "ResponseHeaders"
• "RequestBody"
• "ResponseBody"
• "ProxyRequest"
• "ProxyResponse"
• "FirewallRequest"
• "FirewallResponse"

SSLServerAuthentication Event (GoogleKMS Control)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

Sub googlekmscontrol_SSLServerAuthentication(CertEncoded As String, CertSubject As String, CertIssuer As String, Status As String, Accept As Boolean)

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (GoogleKMS Control)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

Sub googlekmscontrol_SSLStatus(Message As String)

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

StartTransfer Event (GoogleKMS Control)

This event fires when a document starts transferring (after the headers).

Syntax

Sub googlekmscontrol_StartTransfer(Direction As Integer)

Remarks

The StartTransfer event is fired when the document text starts transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Transfer Event (GoogleKMS Control)

Fired while a document transfers (delivers document).

Syntax

Sub googlekmscontrol_Transfer(Direction As Integer, BytesTransferred As Long64, PercentDone As Integer, Text As String)

Remarks

The Text parameter contains the portion of the document text being received. It is empty if data are being posted to the server.

The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred in this Direction since the beginning of the document text (excluding HTTP response headers).

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.

Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.

VersionList Event (GoogleKMS Control)

Fires once for each key version when listing key versions.

Syntax

Sub googlekmscontrol_VersionList(Name As String, VersionId As String, State As String, Algorithm As String, ProtectionLevel As String, CreationDate As String, DestructionDate As String)

Remarks

This event fires once for each key version returned when ListVersions or GetVersionInfo is called.

Name reflects the name of the key.

VersionId reflects the Id of the key version.

State reflects the state of the key version. Possible values are:

• PENDING_GENERATION: The version is still being generated, and cannot be used yet. Once generation has finished, it will become ENABLED.
• ENABLED: The version is enabled and available for use.
• DISABLED: The version is disabled; it cannot be used unless it is enabled again. It may be destroyed.
• DESTROY_SCHEDULED: The version's cryptographic material is scheduled for destruction, and will be destroyed at the time reflected by unless CancelDestruction before then.
• DESTROYED: The version's cryptographic material has been destroyed, and the version is no longer usable. This state is permanent once entered.
• PENDING_IMPORT*: Cryptographic material has not finished importing, and the version cannot be used yet. Once the import has finished, it will become ENABLED.
• IMPORT_FAILED*: The version was not imported successfully; it cannot be used, and any imported cryptographic material has been discarded.

Algorithm reflects the key version's algorithm. For symmetric keys, this will always be GOOGLE_SYMMETRIC_ENCRYPTION. For asymmetric keys, this value describes both the key type and the algorithm that must be used during cryptographic operations, and possible values are:

• RSA_SIGN_PSS_2048_SHA256: RSASSA-PSS 2048 bit key with a SHA256 digest
• RSA_SIGN_PSS_3072_SHA256: RSASSA-PSS 3072 bit key with a SHA256 digest
• RSA_SIGN_PSS_4096_SHA256: RSASSA-PSS 4096 bit key with a SHA256 digest
• RSA_SIGN_PSS_4096_SHA512: RSASSA-PSS 4096 bit key with a SHA512 digest
• RSA_SIGN_PKCS1_2048_SHA256: RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 with a 2048 bit key and a SHA256 digest
• RSA_SIGN_PKCS1_3072_SHA256: RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 with a 3072 bit key and a SHA256 digest
• RSA_SIGN_PKCS1_4096_SHA256: RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 with a 4096 bit key and a SHA256 digest
• RSA_SIGN_PKCS1_4096_SHA512: RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 with a 4096 bit key and a SHA512 digest
• RSA_DECRYPT_OAEP_2048_SHA256: RSAES-OAEP 2048 bit key with a SHA256 digest
• RSA_DECRYPT_OAEP_3072_SHA256: RSAES-OAEP 3072 bit key with a SHA256 digest
• RSA_DECRYPT_OAEP_4096_SHA256: RSAES-OAEP 4096 bit key with a SHA256 digest
• RSA_DECRYPT_OAEP_4096_SHA512: RSAES-OAEP 4096 bit key with a SHA512 digest
• EC_SIGN_P256_SHA256: ECDSA on the NIST P-256 curve with a SHA256 digest
• EC_SIGN_P384_SHA384: ECDSA on the NIST P-384 curve with a SHA384 digest

Refer to Google's CryptoKeyVersionAlgorithm documentation page for more information.

ProtectionLevel reflects the key version's protection level. Possible values are:

• SOFTWARE
• HSM
• EXTERNAL

CreationDate reflects the key version's creation date, formatted as an RFC 3339 UTC timestamp.

DestructionDate reflects the date at which the key version's cryptographic material was (or will be) destroyed, formatted as an RFC 3339 UTC timestamp; or empty string if the key version's cryptographic material has not been, and is not scheduled to be, destroyed.
