Google Cloud Keys
This section describes how to manage Google Cloud keys on CCKM. Before proceeding, you must have a Google Cloud key ring added to the CCKM. Refer to Google Cloud Key Rings for details.
Key Types
CCKM supports two types of Google Cloud keys:
Symmetric: A randomly generated key is used to encrypt and decrypt the data.
Asymmetric: A public and private RSA key pair is used to encrypt and decrypt the data. The public key encrypts while the private key decrypts the data.
Key Creation Methods and Sources
Methods to create Google Cloud keys using CCKM are:
Creating/Uploading New Key Material: Add key material by creating and uploading new source key or creating new native key. The key source can be:
CipherTrust (External): A new key is first created on the external CipherTrust Manager. Then, this key material is uploaded to Google Cloud to create a new Google Cloud key. As the key material is uploaded from the external CipherTrust Manager, the key origin is
CipherTrust (External).CipherTrust (Local): A new key is first created on the CipherTrust Manager. Then, this key material is uploaded to Google Cloud to create a new Google Cloud key. As the key material is uploaded from the CipherTrust Manager, the key origin is
CCKM.Google (Native): A new key is directly created on Google Cloud using the native Google application. The key origin is
NATIVE.Luna HSM: A new Luna HSM key is first created on the CipherTrust Manager. Then, this key material is uploaded to Google Cloud to create a new Google Cloud key. As the key material is uploaded from the CipherTrust Manager, the key origin is
CCKM.Note
CCKM doesn't support FM-enabled Luna HSM as a key source.
Vormetric DSM: A new DSM key is first created on the CipherTrust Manager. Then, this key material is uploaded to Google Cloud to create a new Google Cloud key. As the key material is uploaded from the CipherTrust Manager, the key origin is
CCKM.
Cloning Existing Key Material: Clone key material from an existing key to create a new key. The key source can be:
CipherTrust (External): An existing key is first cloned on the external CipherTrust Manager. Then, this key material is uploaded to Google Cloud to create a new Google Cloud key. As the key material is uploaded from the external CipherTrust Manager, the key origin is
CipherTrust (External).CipherTrust (Local): An existing local CipherTrust Manager key is first cloned on the CipherTrust Manager. Then, the cloned key material is uploaded to Google Cloud to create a new Google Cloud key. As the key material is uploaded from the CipherTrust Manager, the key origin is
CCKM.Luna HSM: An existing Luna HSM key is first cloned on the CipherTrust Manager. Then, the key material is uploaded to Google Cloud to create a new Google Cloud key. As the key material is uploaded from the CipherTrust Manager, the key origin is
CCKM.Note
CCKM doesn't support FM-enabled Luna HSM as a key source.
Vormetric DSM: An existing DSM key is first cloned on the CipherTrust Manager. Then, the key material is uploaded to Google Cloud to create a new Google Cloud key. As the key material is uploaded from the CipherTrust Manager, the key origin is
CCKM.
