Remarks

The GoogleKMS component 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 component supports authentication via OAuth 2.0. First, perform OAuth authentication using the OAuth component or a separate process. Once complete you should have an authorization string which looks like:

Bearer ya29.AHES6ZSZEJzATdZYjeihDn5W-VrXSsxEZu5p0pclxGdKKQ
Assign this value to the Authorization property before attempting any operations. Consult the documentation for the service for more information about supported scope values and more details on OAuth authentication.

Using the Component

First, select which key ring the component 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, InputFile, or SetInputStream to supply the input data that should be processed. All operations will output the result data to OutputData, OutputFile, or SetOutputStream (except Verify; refer to its documentation for more information).

Note that Google does not support server-side asymmetric encryption or asymmetric verification. The component 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 component also supports a variety of other functionality, including:
