Correct Answer
Yes, it supports asymmetric signing using RSA or Elliptic Curve (EC) keys
Why This Answer Is Correct
Cloud KMS supports asymmetric keys, enabling users to perform cryptographic signing and validation operations using public and private key pairs such as RSA or Elliptic Curve (EC).
This question evaluates your knowledge of Cloud Key Management Service — a core concept tested in Associate Cloud Engineer. Understanding Cloud Key Management Service is essential for designing scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud architectures. Mastery of this topic will help you answer scenario-based questions confidently on exam day.
Company policy requires that all database encryption keys be managed centrally and rotated annually. You need a secure, durable service to store and manage these cryptographic keys. Which service should you use?
Which Google Cloud service allows you to manage cryptographic keys (AES-256, RSA, etc.) at scale and use them to protect your data-at-rest?
What is the difference between a 'Key Ring' and a 'CryptoKey' in Cloud KMS?
What is 'Automatic Key Rotation' in Cloud KMS?
Which Cloud KMS feature provides Hardware Security Module (HSM) protection (FIPS 140-2 Level 3) for your keys without requiring you to manage physical hardware?
