public sealed class EncryptionKey : IEquatable<EncryptionKey>
Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Storage v1 API class EncryptionKey.
An AES-256 key passed to the Google Cloud Storage servers via headers to allow objects to be encrypted at
rest using a client-supplied key rather than a server-supplied default key. An alternative to
customer-supplied encryption keys is to use customer-managed encryption keys, via Cloud KMS.
A "don't encrypt" key, used in call-specific options to indicate that a particular request should
not use encryption even if the client has a default encryption key.
