key
Manages keys via the KeyProvider.
For more details on KeyProviders, see Transparent Encryption Guide.
Providers frequently require a password/other secret.
If a provider requires a password and is unable to find one, it uses a default password and emits a warning message that the default password is being used.
If the strict flag is provided, the warning message becomes an error and the command returns immediately with an error status.
