Python Client for Google Cloud Key Management Service

|stable| |pypi| |versions|

Google Cloud Key Management Service_: a cloud-hosted key management service that lets you manage cryptographic keys for your cloud services the same way you do on-premises. You can generate, use, rotate, and destroy AES256, RSA 2048, RSA 3072, RSA 4096, EC P256, and EC P384 cryptographic keys. Cloud KMS is integrated with Cloud 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 that you need to store in Google Cloud Platform.

Quick Start

In order to use this library, you first need to go through the following steps:

1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project._
2. Enable billing for your project._
3. Enable the Google Cloud Key Management Service._
4. Setup Authentication._

.. _Select or create a Cloud Platform project.: https://console.cloud.google.com/project .. _Enable billing for your project.: https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/modify-project#enable_billing_for_a_project .. _Enable the Google Cloud Key Management Service.: https://cloud.google.com/kms .. _Setup Authentication.: https://googleapis.dev/python/google-api-core/latest/auth.html

Installation

Install this library in a virtual environment using `venv`_. `venv`_ is a tool that
creates isolated Python environments. These isolated environments can have separate
versions of Python packages, which allows you to isolate one project's dependencies
from the dependencies of other projects.

With `venv`_, it's possible to install this library without needing system
install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system
dependencies.

.. _`venv`: https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html
