# `gcpckms` KMS
The GCP Cloud KMS configures Boundary to use GCP Cloud KMS for key management.
The GCP Cloud KMS seal is activated by the presence of a `seal "gcpckms"` block in Boundary's configuration file.
## `gcpckms` Example
This example shows configuring GCP Cloud KMS through the Boundary
configuration file by providing all the required values:
```hcl
kms "gcpckms" {
purpose = "root"
credentials = "/usr/boundary/boundary-project-user-creds.json"
project = "boundary-project"
region = "global"
key_ring = "boundary-keyring"
crypto_key = "boundary-key"
}
```
## `gcpckms` Parameters
These parameters apply to the `kms` stanza in the Boundary configuration file:
- `purpose` - Purpose of this KMS, acceptable values are: `worker-auth`, `worker-auth-storage`,
`root`, `previous-root`, `recovery`, or `config`.
- `credentials` `(string: <required>)`: The path to the credentials JSON file
to use. May be also specified by the `GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS` or
`GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` environment variable or set automatically if
running under Google App Engine, Google Compute Engine or Google Kubernetes
Engine.
- `project` `(string: <required>)`: The GCP project ID to use. May also be
specified by the `GOOGLE_PROJECT` environment variable.
- `region` `(string: "us-east-1")`: The GCP region/location where the key ring
lives. May also be specified by the `GOOGLE_REGION` environment variable.
- `key_ring` `(string: <required>)`: The GCP CKMS key ring to use.
- `crypto_key` `(string: <required>)`: The GCP CKMS crypto key to use for
encryption and decryption.
## Authentication &amp; Permissions
Authentication-related values must be provided, either as environment
variables or as configuration parameters.
GCP authentication values:
- `GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS` or `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`
