## Introduction
## Diagram
Infisical's <strong>Key Management System (KMS)</strong> allows you to create, store and manage cryptographic keys.
These keys can be used to perform cryptographic operations such as data encryption. You can access
Infisical's KMS from the [project](./project) sidebar.
The following sequence diagram illustrates the KMS workflow for creating and using a cryptographic key.

1. <strong>Centralized Key Storage:</strong> Securely store all your organization's cryptographic keys in one location.
2. <strong>Encryption and

external applications.
3. <strong>Audit
Trails:</strong> Maintain detailed logs of all key-related activities for compliance and security analysis.

## Concept
At a high-level, Infisical generates a KMS key when requested, returning the `keyId` to the requester. This `keyId` can then be used
to perform cryptographic operations such as encrypting and decrypting data.
To be more specific:
1. The client requests to create a key using the `/api/v1/kms/keys` endpoint.
2. Infisical generates a KMS key and returns the `keyId` to the requester.
3. The client requests to encrypt `plaintext` data (base64 encoded) with the specified `keyId` using the `/api/v1/kms/keys/<key-id>/encrypt` endpoint.
4. Infisical returns the encrypted data or `ciphertext` (base64 encoded).
3. The client requests to decrypt the `ciphertext` data with the original `keyId` using the `/api/v1/kms/keys/<key-id>/decrypt` endpoint.
4. Infisical returns the decrypted `plaintext` data (base64 encoded).
<Note>
Your keys will never be used or viewable outside of Infisical KMS.

No. Infisical's KMS will never expose your keys, encrypted or decrypted, to external sources.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="What algorithms does Infisical KMS support?">
Currently, Infisical only supports AES-128-GCM and AES-256-GCM for encryption operations. We anticipate
supporting more algorithms and cryptographic operations in the coming months.
