| Fields |
type |
enum (KeyType)
Optional. The type of public key. If specified, it must match the public key used for thekey field.
|
key |
string (bytes format)
Required. A public key. When this is specified in a request, the padding and encoding can be any of the options described by the respective 'KeyType' value. When this is generated by the service, it will always be an RFC 5280 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure containing an algorithm identifier and a key. A base64-encoded string.

KeyType
| Enums |
KEY_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED |
Default unspecified value. |
PEM_RSA_KEY |
A PEM-encoded PKCS#1/RFC 3447 RSAPublicKey structure, or an RFC 5280 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure containing the former. |
PEM_EC_KEY |
An RFC 5280 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure containing a PEM-encoded compressed NIST P-256/secp256r1/prime256v1 or P-384 key. |
