Signing keys

Know which key stands behind a signature.

Manage signing identities and retain the public verification information needed to check issued records.

What this means for you

A practical starting point.

A private signing key creates a signature. The corresponding public key checks it. Keeping their roles separate lets recipients verify evidence without being able to issue records themselves.

New platform signing uses Google Cloud KMS. Public-key availability is essential for checking historical signatures.

From idea to use

A clear path through the work.

Create a signing identity

Associate the appropriate key with the issuer or supported service.

Protect issuing access

Give signing permissions only to the services and people that need them.

Preserve verification context

Retain historical public material and review the effect of revocation and rotation.

Your next step

Start with one thing you need to prove.

Try an example, choose your workspace, and build from there.
