Can I use a 3DES key within google KMS HSM?


I have been looking across the different HSM provides alike Azure, AWS, IBM and Google but I haven't find any documentation about google HSM explicitely supporting 3DES keys.

However I can see the type

"CRYPTO_KEY_VERSION_ALGORITHM_UNSPECIFIED"

in https://cloud.google.com/kms/docs/reference/rest/v1/CryptoKeyVersionAlgorithm

This type is used to create a key in the KMS.

Does Google KMS HSM support 3DES?


Solution

  • It does not support 3DES as a key type you can create and use at this time. We'd be interested to know more about why you would want 3DES.
