The Key Management Service (KMS) provides a secure, centralized solution for creating, managing, and controlling cryptographic keys used to protect your data across the cloud platform. It ensures strong data protection through encryption, key lifecycle management, and policy-based access control all fully integrated within the cloud ecosystem.

• Public – Stores or generates a public key, typically used for asymmetric encryption (e.g., verifying signatures).
• Private – Stores a private key used for decryption or signing operations.
• Passphrase – Simple text-based secret (e.g., passwords, API keys).
• Certificate – Used to store SSL/TLS certificates for services.
• Opaque – Generic secret type for any encoded or binary data.
• Symmetric – The most common type used for encryption and decryption with a single shared key (AES-256).
