AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) is an encryption and key management web service. This guide describes the AWS KMS operations that you can call programmatically. For general information about AWS KMS, see the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .
AWS provides SDKs that consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and platforms (Java, Ruby, .Net, macOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs provide a convenient way to create programmatic access to AWS KMS and other AWS services. For example, the SDKs take care of tasks such as signing requests (see below), managing errors, and retrying requests automatically. For more information about the AWS SDKs, including how to download and install them, see Tools for Amazon Web Services.
We recommend that you use the AWS SDKs to make programmatic API calls to AWS KMS.
Clients must support TLS (Transport Layer Security) 1.0. We recommend TLS 1.2. Clients must also support cipher suites with Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) such as Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (DHE) or Elliptic Curve Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE). Most modern systems such as Java 7 and later support these modes.
Signing Requests
Requests must be signed by using an access key ID and a secret access key. We strongly recommend that you do not use your AWS account (root) access key ID and secret key for everyday work with AWS KMS. Instead, use the access key ID and secret access key for an IAM user. You can also use the AWS Security Token Service to generate temporary security credentials that you can use to sign requests.
All AWS KMS operations require Signature Version 4.
Logging API Requests
AWS KMS supports AWS CloudTrail, a service that logs AWS API calls and related events for your AWS account and delivers them to an Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. By using the information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine what requests were made to AWS KMS, who made the request, when it was made, and so on. To learn more about CloudTrail, including how to turn it on and find your log files, see the AWS CloudTrail User Guide.

different AWS account.
For more information about scheduling and canceling deletion of a CMK, see Deleting Customer Master Keys in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

ConnectCustomKeyStoreResult connectCustomKeyStore(ConnectCustomKeyStoreRequest connectCustomKeyStoreRequest)
Connects or reconnects a custom key store to its associated AWS CloudHSM cluster.
The custom key store must be connected before you can create customer master keys (CMKs) in the key store or use the CMKs it contains. You can disconnect and reconnect a custom key store at any time.
To connect a custom key store, its associated AWS CloudHSM cluster must have at least one active HSM. To get the
number of active HSMs in a cluster, use the DescribeClusters
operation. To add HSMs to the cluster, use the CreateHsm operation. Also,
the
kmsuser
crypto user (CU) must not be logged into the cluster. This prevents AWS KMS from using
this account to log in.
The connection process can take an extended amount of time to complete; up to 20 minutes. This operation starts the connection process, but it does not wait for it to complete. When it succeeds, this operation quickly returns an HTTP 200 response and a JSON object with no properties. However, this response does not indicate that the custom key store is connected. To get the connection state of the custom key store, use the DescribeCustomKeyStores operation.
During the connection process, AWS KMS finds the AWS CloudHSM cluster that is associated with the custom key
store, creates the connection infrastructure, connects to the cluster, logs into the AWS CloudHSM client as the
kmsuser
CU, and rotates its password.
The ConnectCustomKeyStore
operation might fail for various reasons. To find the reason, use the
DescribeCustomKeyStores operation and see the ConnectionErrorCode
in the response. For help
interpreting the ConnectionErrorCode
, see CustomKeyStoresListEntry.
To fix the failure, use the DisconnectCustomKeyStore operation to disconnect the custom key store, correct
the error, use the UpdateCustomKeyStore operation if necessary, and then use
ConnectCustomKeyStore
again.
If you are having trouble connecting or disconnecting a custom key store, see Troubleshooting a Custom Key Store in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

or ID.KMSInternalException
- The request was rejected because an internal exception occurred. The request can be retried.CloudHsmClusterInvalidConfigurationException
- The request was rejected because the associated AWS CloudHSM cluster did not meet the configuration
requirements for a custom key store.
The cluster must be configured with private subnets in at least two different Availability Zones in the Region.
The security group for the cluster (cloudhsm-cluster-<cluster-id>-sg) must include inbound rules and outbound rules that allow TCP traffic on ports 2223-2225. The Source in the inbound rules and the Destination in the outbound rules must match the security group ID. These rules are set by default when you create the cluster. Do not delete or change them. To get information about a particular security group, use the DescribeSecurityGroups operation.
The cluster must contain at least as many HSMs as the operation requires. To add HSMs, use the AWS CloudHSM CreateHsm operation.
For the CreateCustomKeyStore, UpdateCustomKeyStore, and CreateKey operations, the AWS CloudHSM cluster must have at least two active HSMs, each in a different Availability Zone. For the ConnectCustomKeyStore operation, the AWS CloudHSM must contain at least one active HSM.
For information about the requirements for an AWS CloudHSM cluster that is associated with a custom key store, see Assemble the Prerequisites in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide. For information about creating a private subnet for an AWS CloudHSM cluster, see Create a Private Subnet in the AWS CloudHSM User Guide. For information about cluster security groups, see Configure a Default Security Group in the AWS CloudHSM User Guide .
CreateAliasResult createAlias(CreateAliasRequest createAliasRequest)
Creates a display name for a customer managed customer master key (CMK). You can use an alias to identify a CMK in cryptographic operations, such as Encrypt and GenerateDataKey. You can change the CMK associated with the alias at any time.
Aliases are easier to remember than key IDs. They can also help to simplify your applications. For example, if you use an alias in your code, you can change the CMK your code uses by associating a given alias with a different CMK.
To run the same code in multiple AWS regions, use an alias in your code, such as
alias/ApplicationKey
. Then, in each AWS Region, create an alias/ApplicationKey
alias
that is associated with a CMK in that Region. When you run your code, it uses the
alias/ApplicationKey
CMK for that AWS Region without any Region-specific code.
This operation does not return a response. To get the alias that you created, use the ListAliases operation.
To use aliases successfully, be aware of the following information.
Each alias points to only one CMK at a time, although a single CMK can have multiple aliases. The alias and its associated CMK must be in the same AWS account and Region.
You can associate an alias with any customer managed CMK in the same AWS account and Region. However, you do not have permission to associate an alias with an AWS managed CMK or an AWS owned CMK.
To change the CMK associated with an alias, use the UpdateAlias operation. The current CMK and the new CMK
must be the same type (both symmetric or both asymmetric) and they must have the same key usage (
ENCRYPT_DECRYPT
or SIGN_VERIFY
). This restriction prevents cryptographic errors in code
that uses aliases.
The alias name must begin with alias/
followed by a name, such as alias/ExampleAlias
.
It can contain only alphanumeric characters, forward slashes (/), underscores (_), and dashes (-). The alias name
cannot begin with alias/aws/
. The alias/aws/
prefix is reserved for AWS managed CMKs.
The alias name must be unique within an AWS Region. However, you can use the same alias name in multiple Regions of the same AWS account. Each instance of the alias is associated with a CMK in its Region.
After you create an alias, you cannot change its alias name. However, you can use the DeleteAlias operation to delete the alias and then create a new alias with the desired name.
You can use an alias name or alias ARN to identify a CMK in AWS KMS cryptographic
operations and in the DescribeKey operation. However, you cannot use alias names or alias ARNs in API
operations that manage CMKs, such as DisableKey or GetKeyPolicy. For information about the valid
CMK identifiers for each AWS KMS API operation, see the descriptions of the KeyId
parameter in the
API operation documentation.
Because an alias is not a property of a CMK, you can delete and change the aliases of a CMK without affecting the CMK. Also, aliases do not appear in the response from the DescribeKey operation. To get the aliases and alias ARNs of CMKs in each AWS account and Region, use the ListAliases operation.
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

CreateCustomKeyStoreResult createCustomKeyStore(CreateCustomKeyStoreRequest createCustomKeyStoreRequest)
Creates a custom key store that is associated with an AWS CloudHSM cluster that you own and manage.
This operation is part of the Custom Key Store feature feature in AWS KMS, which combines the convenience and extensive integration of AWS KMS with the isolation and control of a single-tenant key store.
Before you create the custom key store, you must assemble the required elements, including an AWS CloudHSM cluster that fulfills the requirements for a custom key store. For details about the required elements, see Assemble the Prerequisites in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
When the operation completes successfully, it returns the ID of the new custom key store. Before you can use your new custom key store, you need to use the ConnectCustomKeyStore operation to connect the new key store to its AWS CloudHSM cluster. Even if you are not going to use your custom key store immediately, you might want to connect it to verify that all settings are correct and then disconnect it until you are ready to use it.
For help with failures, see Troubleshooting a Custom Key Store in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

CreateGrantResult createGrant(CreateGrantRequest createGrantRequest)
Adds a grant to a customer master key (CMK). The grant allows the grantee principal to use the CMK when the conditions specified in the grant are met. When setting permissions, grants are an alternative to key policies.
To create a grant that allows a cryptographic
operation only when the request includes a particular encryption
context, use the Constraints
parameter. For details, see GrantConstraints.
You can create grants on symmetric and asymmetric CMKs. However, if the grant allows an operation that the CMK
does not support, CreateGrant
fails with a ValidationException
.
Grants for symmetric CMKs cannot allow operations that are not supported for symmetric CMKs, including Sign, Verify, and GetPublicKey. (There are limited exceptions to this rule for legacy operations, but you should not create a grant for an operation that AWS KMS does not support.)
Grants for asymmetric CMKs cannot allow operations that are not supported for asymmetric CMKs, including operations that generate data keys or data key pairs, or operations related to automatic key rotation, imported key material, or CMKs in custom key stores.
Grants for asymmetric CMKs with a KeyUsage
of ENCRYPT_DECRYPT
cannot allow the
Sign or Verify operations. Grants for asymmetric CMKs with a KeyUsage
of
SIGN_VERIFY
cannot allow the Encrypt or Decrypt operations.
Grants for asymmetric CMKs cannot include an encryption context grant constraint. An encryption context is not supported on asymmetric CMKs.
For information about symmetric and asymmetric CMKs, see Using Symmetric and Asymmetric CMKs in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
To perform this operation on a CMK in a different AWS account, specify the key ARN in the value of the
KeyId
parameter. For more information about grants, see Grants in the AWS Key
Management Service Developer Guide .
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

CreateKeyResult createKey(CreateKeyRequest createKeyRequest)
Creates a unique customer managed customer master key (CMK) in your AWS account and Region. You cannot use this operation to create a CMK in a different AWS account.
You can use the CreateKey
operation to create symmetric or asymmetric CMKs.
Symmetric CMKs contain a 256-bit symmetric key that never leaves AWS KMS unencrypted. To use the CMK, you must call AWS KMS. You can use a symmetric CMK to encrypt and decrypt small amounts of data, but they are typically used to generate data keys and data keys pairs. For details, see GenerateDataKey and GenerateDataKeyPair.
Asymmetric CMKs can contain an RSA key pair or an Elliptic Curve (ECC) key pair. The private key in an asymmetric CMK never leaves AWS KMS unencrypted. However, you can use the GetPublicKey operation to download the public key so it can be used outside of AWS KMS. CMKs with RSA key pairs can be used to encrypt or decrypt data or sign and verify messages (but not both). CMKs with ECC key pairs can be used only to sign and verify messages.
For information about symmetric and asymmetric CMKs, see Using Symmetric and Asymmetric CMKs in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
To create different types of CMKs, use the following guidance:
To create an asymmetric CMK, use the CustomerMasterKeySpec
parameter to specify the type of key
material in the CMK. Then, use the KeyUsage
parameter to determine whether the CMK will be used to
encrypt and decrypt or sign and verify. You can't change these properties after the CMK is created.
When creating a symmetric CMK, you don't need to specify the CustomerMasterKeySpec
or
KeyUsage
parameters. The default value for CustomerMasterKeySpec
,
SYMMETRIC_DEFAULT
, and the default value for KeyUsage
, ENCRYPT_DECRYPT
,
are the only valid values for symmetric CMKs.
To import your own key material, begin by creating a symmetric CMK with no key material. To do this, use the
Origin
parameter of CreateKey
with a value of EXTERNAL
. Next, use
GetParametersForImport operation to get a public key and import token, and use the public key to encrypt
your key material. Then, use ImportKeyMaterial with your import token to import the key material. For
step-by-step instructions, see Importing Key Material in
the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide . You cannot import the key material into an
asymmetric CMK.
To create a symmetric CMK in a custom key store,
use the CustomKeyStoreId
parameter to specify the custom key store. You must also use the
Origin
parameter with a value of AWS_CLOUDHSM
. The AWS CloudHSM cluster that is
associated with the custom key store must have at least two active HSMs in different Availability Zones in the
AWS Region.
You cannot create an asymmetric CMK in a custom key store. For information about custom key stores in AWS KMS see Using Custom Key Stores in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .

CreateKeyResult createKey()
createKey(CreateKeyRequest)
DecryptResult decrypt(DecryptRequest decryptRequest)
Decrypts ciphertext that was encrypted by a AWS KMS customer master key (CMK) using any of the following operations:
You can use this operation to decrypt ciphertext that was encrypted under a symmetric or asymmetric CMK. When the CMK is asymmetric, you must specify the CMK and the encryption algorithm that was used to encrypt the ciphertext. For information about symmetric and asymmetric CMKs, see Using Symmetric and Asymmetric CMKs in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
The Decrypt operation also decrypts ciphertext that was encrypted outside of AWS KMS by the public key in an AWS KMS asymmetric CMK. However, it cannot decrypt ciphertext produced by other libraries, such as the AWS Encryption SDK or Amazon S3 client-side encryption. These libraries return a ciphertext format that is incompatible with AWS KMS.
If the ciphertext was encrypted under a symmetric CMK, you do not need to specify the CMK or the encryption
algorithm. AWS KMS can get this information from metadata that it adds to the symmetric ciphertext blob. However,
if you prefer, you can specify the KeyId
to ensure that a particular CMK is used to decrypt the
ciphertext. If you specify a different CMK than the one used to encrypt the ciphertext, the Decrypt
operation fails.
Whenever possible, use key policies to give users permission to call the Decrypt operation on a particular CMK,
instead of using IAM policies. Otherwise, you might create an IAM user policy that gives the user Decrypt
permission on all CMKs. This user could decrypt ciphertext that was encrypted by CMKs in other accounts if the
key policy for the cross-account CMK permits it. If you must use an IAM policy for Decrypt
permissions, limit the user to particular CMKs or particular trusted accounts.
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

DeleteAliasResult deleteAlias(DeleteAliasRequest deleteAliasRequest)
Deletes the specified alias. You cannot perform this operation on an alias in a different AWS account.
Because an alias is not a property of a CMK, you can delete and change the aliases of a CMK without affecting the CMK. Also, aliases do not appear in the response from the DescribeKey operation. To get the aliases of all CMKs, use the ListAliases operation.
Each CMK can have multiple aliases. To change the alias of a CMK, use DeleteAlias to delete the current alias and CreateAlias to create a new alias. To associate an existing alias with a different customer master key (CMK), call UpdateAlias.

DeleteCustomKeyStoreResult deleteCustomKeyStore(DeleteCustomKeyStoreRequest deleteCustomKeyStoreRequest)
Deletes a custom key store. This operation does not delete the AWS CloudHSM cluster that is associated with the custom key store, or affect any users or keys in the cluster.
The custom key store that you delete cannot contain any AWS KMS customer master keys
(CMKs). Before deleting the key store, verify that you will never need to use any of the CMKs in the key
store for any cryptographic
operations. Then, use ScheduleKeyDeletion to delete the AWS KMS customer master keys (CMKs) from the
key store. When the scheduled waiting period expires, the ScheduleKeyDeletion
operation deletes the
CMKs. Then it makes a best effort to delete the key material from the associated cluster. However, you might need
to manually delete
the orphaned key material from the cluster and its backups.
After all CMKs are deleted from AWS KMS, use DisconnectCustomKeyStore to disconnect the key store from AWS KMS. Then, you can delete the custom key store.
Instead of deleting the custom key store, consider using DisconnectCustomKeyStore to disconnect it from AWS KMS. While the key store is disconnected, you cannot create or use the CMKs in the key store. But, you do not need to delete CMKs and you can reconnect a disconnected custom key store at any time.
If the operation succeeds, it returns a JSON object with no properties.
This operation is part of the Custom Key Store feature feature in AWS KMS, which combines the convenience and extensive integration of AWS KMS with the isolation and control of a single-tenant key store.
deleteCustomKeyStoreRequest
- CustomKeyStoreHasCMKsException
- The request was rejected because the custom key store contains AWS KMS customer master keys (CMKs). After
verifying that you do not need to use the CMKs, use the ScheduleKeyDeletion operation to delete

- The request was rejected because an internal exception occurred. The request can be retried.DeleteImportedKeyMaterialResult deleteImportedKeyMaterial(DeleteImportedKeyMaterialRequest deleteImportedKeyMaterialRequest)
Deletes key material that you previously imported. This operation makes the specified customer master key (CMK) unusable. For more information about importing key material into AWS KMS, see Importing Key Material in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide. You cannot perform this operation on a CMK in a different AWS account.
When the specified CMK is in the PendingDeletion
state, this operation does not change the CMK's
state. Otherwise, it changes the CMK's state to PendingImport
.
After you delete key material, you can use ImportKeyMaterial to reimport the same key material into the CMK.
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

DescribeCustomKeyStoresResult describeCustomKeyStores(DescribeCustomKeyStoresRequest describeCustomKeyStoresRequest)
Gets information about custom key stores in the account and region.
This operation is part of the Custom Key Store feature feature in AWS KMS, which combines the convenience and extensive integration of AWS KMS with the isolation and control of a single-tenant key store.
By default, this operation returns information about all custom key stores in the account and region. To get only
information about a particular custom key store, use either the CustomKeyStoreName
or
CustomKeyStoreId
parameter (but not both).
To determine whether the custom key store is connected to its AWS CloudHSM cluster, use the
ConnectionState
element in the response. If an attempt to connect the custom key store failed, the
ConnectionState
value is FAILED
and the ConnectionErrorCode
element in the
response indicates the cause of the failure. For help interpreting the ConnectionErrorCode
, see
CustomKeyStoresListEntry.
Custom key stores have a DISCONNECTED
connection state if the key store has never been connected or
you use the DisconnectCustomKeyStore operation to disconnect it. If your custom key store state is
CONNECTED
but you are having trouble using it, make sure that its associated AWS CloudHSM cluster is
active and contains the minimum number of HSMs required for the operation, if any.
For help repairing your custom key store, see the Troubleshooting Custom Key Stores topic in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

- The request was rejected because AWS KMS cannot find a custom key store with the specified key store name
or ID.KMSInternalException
- The request was rejected because an internal exception occurred. The request can be retried.DescribeKeyResult describeKey(DescribeKeyRequest describeKeyRequest)
Provides detailed information about a customer master key (CMK). You can run DescribeKey
on a customer managed CMK
or an AWS managed
CMK.
This detailed information includes the key ARN, creation date (and deletion date, if applicable), the key state,
and the origin and expiration date (if any) of the key material. For CMKs in custom key stores, it includes
information about the custom key store, such as the key store ID and the AWS CloudHSM cluster ID. It includes
fields, like KeySpec
, that help you distinguish symmetric from asymmetric CMKs. It also provides
information that is particularly important to asymmetric CMKs, such as the key usage (encryption or signing) and
the encryption algorithms or signing algorithms that the CMK supports.
DescribeKey
does not return the following information:
Aliases associated with the CMK. To get this information, use ListAliases.
Whether automatic key rotation is enabled on the CMK. To get this information, use GetKeyRotationStatus. Also, some key states prevent a CMK from being automatically rotated. For details, see How Automatic Key Rotation Works in AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
Tags on the CMK. To get this information, use ListResourceTags.
Key policies and grants on the CMK. To get this information, use GetKeyPolicy and ListGrants.
If you call the DescribeKey
operation on a predefined AWS alias, that is, an AWS alias with
no key ID, AWS KMS creates an AWS managed CMK. Then,
it associates the alias with the new CMK, and returns the KeyId
and Arn
of the new CMK
in the response.
To perform this operation on a CMK in a different AWS account, specify the key ARN or alias ARN in the value of the KeyId parameter.

Disconnects the custom key store from its associated AWS CloudHSM cluster. While a custom key store is disconnected, you can manage the custom key store and its customer master keys (CMKs), but you cannot create or use CMKs in the custom key store. You can reconnect the custom key store at any time.
While a custom key store is disconnected, all attempts to create customer master keys (CMKs) in the custom key store or to use existing CMKs in cryptographic operations will fail. This action can prevent users from storing and accessing sensitive data.
To find the connection state of a custom key store, use the DescribeCustomKeyStores operation. To reconnect a custom key store, use the ConnectCustomKeyStore operation.
If the operation succeeds, it returns a JSON object with no properties.

UnsupportedOperationException
- The request was rejected because a specified parameter is not supported or a specified resource is not
valid for this operation.EncryptResult encrypt(EncryptRequest encryptRequest)
Encrypts plaintext into ciphertext by using a customer master key (CMK). The Encrypt
operation has
two primary use cases:
You can encrypt small amounts of arbitrary data, such as a personal identifier or database password, or other sensitive information.
You can use the Encrypt
operation to move encrypted data from one AWS Region to another. For
example, in Region A, generate a data key and use the plaintext key to encrypt your data. Then, in Region A, use
the Encrypt
operation to encrypt the plaintext data key under a CMK in Region B. Now, you can move
the encrypted data and the encrypted data key to Region B. When necessary, you can decrypt the encrypted data key
and the encrypted data entirely within in Region B.
You don't need to use the Encrypt
operation to encrypt a data key. The GenerateDataKey and
GenerateDataKeyPair operations return a plaintext data key and an encrypted copy of that data key.
When you encrypt data, you must specify a symmetric or asymmetric CMK to use in the encryption operation. The CMK
must have a KeyUsage
value of ENCRYPT_DECRYPT.
To find the KeyUsage
of a
CMK, use the DescribeKey operation.
If you use a symmetric CMK, you can use an encryption context to add additional security to your encryption
operation. If you specify an EncryptionContext
when encrypting data, you must specify the same
encryption context (a case-sensitive exact match) when decrypting the data. Otherwise, the request to decrypt
fails with an InvalidCiphertextException
. For more information, see Encryption Context
in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
If you specify an asymmetric CMK, you must also specify the encryption algorithm. The algorithm must be compatible with the CMK type.
When you use an asymmetric CMK to encrypt or reencrypt data, be sure to record the CMK and encryption algorithm that you choose. You will be required to provide the same CMK and encryption algorithm when you decrypt the data. If the CMK and algorithm do not match the values used to encrypt the data, the decrypt operation fails.
You are not required to supply the CMK ID and encryption algorithm when you decrypt with symmetric CMKs because AWS KMS stores this information in the ciphertext blob. AWS KMS cannot store metadata in ciphertext generated with asymmetric keys. The standard format for asymmetric key ciphertext does not include configurable fields.
The maximum size of the data that you can encrypt varies with the type of CMK and the encryption algorithm that you choose.

GenerateDataKeyResult generateDataKey(GenerateDataKeyRequest generateDataKeyRequest)
Generates a unique symmetric data key for client-side encryption. This operation returns a plaintext copy of the data key and a copy that is encrypted under a customer master key (CMK) that you specify. You can use the plaintext key to encrypt your data outside of AWS KMS and store the encrypted data key with the encrypted data.
GenerateDataKey
returns a unique data key for each request. The bytes in the plaintext key are not
related to the caller or the CMK.
To generate a data key, specify the symmetric CMK that will be used to encrypt the data key. You cannot use an
asymmetric CMK to generate data keys. To get the type of your CMK, use the DescribeKey operation. You must
also specify the length of the data key. Use either the KeySpec
or NumberOfBytes
parameters (but not both). For 128-bit and 256-bit data keys, use the KeySpec
parameter.
To get only an encrypted copy of the data key, use GenerateDataKeyWithoutPlaintext. To generate an asymmetric data key pair, use the GenerateDataKeyPair or GenerateDataKeyPairWithoutPlaintext operation. To get a cryptographically secure random byte string, use GenerateRandom.
You can use the optional encryption context to add additional security to the encryption operation. If you
specify an EncryptionContext
, you must specify the same encryption context (a case-sensitive exact
match) when decrypting the encrypted data key. Otherwise, the request to decrypt fails with an
InvalidCiphertextException
. For more information, see Encryption Context
in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
How to use your data key
We recommend that you use the following pattern to encrypt data locally in your application. You can write your own code or use a client-side encryption library, such as the AWS Encryption SDK, the Amazon DynamoDB Encryption Client, or Amazon S3 client-side encryption to do these tasks for you.
To encrypt data outside of AWS KMS:
Use the GenerateDataKey
operation to get a data key.
Use the plaintext data key (in the Plaintext
field of the response) to encrypt your data outside of
AWS KMS. Then erase the plaintext data key from memory.
Store the encrypted data key (in the CiphertextBlob
field of the response) with the encrypted data.
To decrypt data outside of AWS KMS:
Use the Decrypt operation to decrypt the encrypted data key. The operation returns a plaintext copy of the data key.
Use the plaintext data key to decrypt data outside of AWS KMS, then erase the plaintext data key from memory.

GenerateDataKeyPairResult generateDataKeyPair(GenerateDataKeyPairRequest generateDataKeyPairRequest)
Generates a unique asymmetric data key pair. The GenerateDataKeyPair
operation returns a plaintext
public key, a plaintext private key, and a copy of the private key that is encrypted under the symmetric CMK you
specify. You can use the data key pair to perform asymmetric cryptography outside of AWS KMS.
GenerateDataKeyPair
returns a unique data key pair for each request. The bytes in the keys are not
related to the caller or the CMK that is used to encrypt the private key.
You can use the public key that GenerateDataKeyPair
returns to encrypt data or verify a signature
outside of AWS KMS. Then, store the encrypted private key with the data. When you are ready to decrypt data or
sign a message, you can use the Decrypt operation to decrypt the encrypted private key.
To generate a data key pair, you must specify a symmetric customer master key (CMK) to encrypt the private key in a data key pair. You cannot use an asymmetric CMK or a CMK in a custom key store. To get the type and origin of your CMK, use the DescribeKey operation.
If you are using the data key pair to encrypt data, or for any operation where you don't immediately need a
private key, consider using the GenerateDataKeyPairWithoutPlaintext operation.
GenerateDataKeyPairWithoutPlaintext
returns a plaintext public key and an encrypted private key, but
omits the plaintext private key that you need only to decrypt ciphertext or sign a message. Later, when you need
to decrypt the data or sign a message, use the Decrypt operation to decrypt the encrypted private key in
the data key pair.
You can use the optional encryption context to add additional security to the encryption operation. If you
specify an EncryptionContext
, you must specify the same encryption context (a case-sensitive exact
match) when decrypting the encrypted data key. Otherwise, the request to decrypt fails with an
InvalidCiphertextException
. For more information, see Encryption Context
in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

Generates a unique asymmetric data key pair. The GenerateDataKeyPairWithoutPlaintext
operation
returns a plaintext public key and a copy of the private key that is encrypted under the symmetric CMK you
specify. Unlike GenerateDataKeyPair, this operation does not return a plaintext private key.
To generate a data key pair, you must specify a symmetric customer master key (CMK) to encrypt the private key in
the data key pair. You cannot use an asymmetric CMK or a CMK in a custom key store. To get the type and origin of
your CMK, use the KeySpec
field in the DescribeKey response.
You can use the public key that GenerateDataKeyPairWithoutPlaintext

UnsupportedOperationException
- The request was rejected because a specified parameter is not supported or a specified resource is not
valid for this operation.GenerateDataKeyWithoutPlaintextResult generateDataKeyWithoutPlaintext(GenerateDataKeyWithoutPlaintextRequest generateDataKeyWithoutPlaintextRequest)
Generates a unique symmetric data key. This operation returns a data key that is encrypted under a customer master key (CMK) that you specify. To request an asymmetric data key pair, use the GenerateDataKeyPair or GenerateDataKeyPairWithoutPlaintext operations.
GenerateDataKeyWithoutPlaintext
is identical to the GenerateDataKey operation except that
returns only the encrypted copy of the data key. This operation is useful for systems that need to encrypt data
at some point, but not immediately. When you need to encrypt the data, you call the Decrypt operation on
the encrypted copy of the key.
It's also useful in distributed systems with different levels of trust. For example, you might store encrypted data in containers. One component of your system creates new containers and stores an encrypted data key with each container. Then, a different component puts the data into the containers. That component first decrypts the data key, uses the plaintext data key to encrypt data, puts the encrypted data into the container, and then destroys the plaintext data key. In this system, the component that creates the containers never sees the plaintext data key.
GenerateDataKeyWithoutPlaintext
returns a unique data key for each request. The bytes in the keys
are not related to the caller or CMK that is used to encrypt the private key.
To generate a data key, you must specify the symmetric customer master key (CMK) that is used to encrypt the data key. You cannot use an asymmetric CMK to generate a data key. To get the type of your CMK, use the DescribeKey operation.
If the operation succeeds, you will find the encrypted copy of the data key in the CiphertextBlob
field.
You can use the optional encryption context to add additional security to the encryption operation. If you
specify an EncryptionContext
, you must specify the same encryption context (a case-sensitive exact
match) when decrypting the encrypted data key. Otherwise, the request to decrypt fails with an

GetKeyRotationStatusResult getKeyRotationStatus(GetKeyRotationStatusRequest getKeyRotationStatusRequest)
Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether automatic rotation of the key material is enabled for the specified customer master key (CMK).
You cannot enable automatic rotation of asymmetric CMKs, CMKs with imported key material, or CMKs in a custom key store.
The key rotation status for these CMKs is always false
.
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
Disabled: The key rotation status does not change when you disable a CMK. However, while the CMK is disabled, AWS KMS does not rotate the backing key.
Pending deletion: While a CMK is pending deletion, its key rotation status is false
and AWS KMS does
not rotate the backing key. If you cancel the deletion, the original key rotation status is restored.

Returns the items you need to import key material into a symmetric, customer managed customer master key (CMK). For more information about importing key material into AWS KMS, see Importing Key Material in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
This operation returns a public key and an import token. Use the public key to encrypt the symmetric key material. Store the import token to send with a subsequent ImportKeyMaterial request.
You must specify the key ID of the symmetric CMK into which you will import key material. This CMK's
Origin
must be EXTERNAL
. You must also specify the wrapping algorithm and type of
wrapping key (public key) that you will use to encrypt the key material. You cannot perform this operation on an
asymmetric CMK or on any CMK in a different AWS account.
To import key material, you must use the public key and import token from the same response. These items are
valid for 24 hours. The expiration date and time appear in the GetParametersForImport
response. You
cannot use an expired token in an ImportKeyMaterial request. If your key and token expire, send another
GetParametersForImport
request.
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

GetPublicKeyResult getPublicKey(GetPublicKeyRequest getPublicKeyRequest)
Returns the public key of an asymmetric CMK. Unlike the private key of a asymmetric CMK, which never leaves AWS
KMS unencrypted, callers with kms:GetPublicKey
permission can download the public key of an
asymmetric CMK. You can share the public key to allow others to encrypt messages and verify signatures outside of
AWS KMS. For information about symmetric and asymmetric CMKs, see Using Symmetric and
Asymmetric CMKs in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
You do not need to download the public key. Instead, you can use the public key within AWS KMS by calling the Encrypt, ReEncrypt, or Verify operations with the identifier of an asymmetric CMK. When you use the public key within AWS KMS, you benefit from the authentication, authorization, and logging that are part of every AWS KMS operation. You also reduce of risk of encrypting data that cannot be decrypted. These features are not effective outside of AWS KMS. For details, see Special Considerations for Downloading Public Keys.
To help you use the public key safely outside of AWS KMS, GetPublicKey
returns important information
about the public key in the response, including:
CustomerMasterKeySpec: The type of key material in the public key, such as RSA_4096
or
ECC_NIST_P521
.
KeyUsage: Whether the key is used for encryption or signing.
EncryptionAlgorithms or SigningAlgorithms: A list of the encryption algorithms or the signing algorithms for the key.
Although AWS KMS cannot enforce these restrictions on external operations, it is crucial that you use this information to prevent the public key from being used improperly. For example, you can prevent a public signing key from being used encrypt data, or prevent a public key from being used with an encryption algorithm that is not supported by AWS KMS. You can also avoid errors, such as using the wrong signing algorithm in a verification operation.
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

ImportKeyMaterialResult importKeyMaterial(ImportKeyMaterialRequest importKeyMaterialRequest)
Imports key material into an existing symmetric AWS KMS customer master key (CMK) that was created without key material. After you successfully import key material into a CMK, you can reimport the same key material into that CMK, but you cannot import different key material.
You cannot perform this operation on an asymmetric CMK or on any CMK in a different AWS account. For more information about creating CMKs with no key material and then importing key material, see Importing Key Material in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
Before using this operation, call GetParametersForImport. Its response includes a public key and an import
token. Use the public key to encrypt the key material. Then, submit the import token from the same
GetParametersForImport
response.
When calling this operation, you must specify the following values:
The key ID or key ARN of a CMK with no key material. Its Origin
must be EXTERNAL
.
To create a CMK with no key material, call CreateKey and set the value of its Origin
parameter to EXTERNAL
. To get the Origin
of a CMK, call DescribeKey.)
The encrypted key material. To get the public key to encrypt the key material, call GetParametersForImport.
The import token that GetParametersForImport returned. You must use a public key and token from the same
GetParametersForImport
response.
Whether the key material expires and if so, when. If you set an expiration date, AWS KMS deletes the key material from the CMK on the specified date, and the CMK becomes unusable. To use the CMK again, you must reimport the same key material. The only way to change an expiration date is by reimporting the same key material and specifying a new expiration date.
When this operation is successful, the key state of the CMK changes from PendingImport
to
Enabled
, and you can use the CMK.
If this operation fails, use the exception to help determine the problem. If the error is related to the key material, the import token, or wrapping key, use GetParametersForImport to get a new public key and import token for the CMK and repeat the import procedure. For help, see How To Import Key Material in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

Gets a list of aliases in the caller's AWS account and region. You cannot list aliases in other accounts. For more information about aliases, see CreateAlias.
By default, the ListAliases command returns all aliases in the account and region. To get only the aliases that
point to a particular customer master key (CMK), use the KeyId
parameter.
The ListAliases
response can include aliases that you created and associated with your customer
managed CMKs, and aliases that AWS created and associated with AWS managed CMKs in your account. You can
recognize AWS aliases because their names have the format aws/<service-name>
, such as
aws/dynamodb
.

ReEncryptResult reEncrypt(ReEncryptRequest reEncryptRequest)
Decrypts ciphertext and then reencrypts it entirely within AWS KMS. You can use this operation to change the customer master key (CMK) under which data is encrypted, such as when you manually rotate a CMK or change the CMK that protects a ciphertext. You can also use it to reencrypt ciphertext under the same CMK, such as to change the encryption context of a ciphertext.
The ReEncrypt
operation can decrypt ciphertext that was encrypted by using an AWS KMS CMK in an AWS
KMS operation, such as Encrypt or GenerateDataKey. It can also decrypt ciphertext that was
encrypted by using the public key of an asymmetric
CMK outside of AWS KMS. However, it cannot decrypt ciphertext produced by other libraries, such as the AWS Encryption SDK or Amazon S3 client-side
encryption. These libraries return a ciphertext format that is incompatible with AWS KMS.
When you use the ReEncrypt
operation, you need to provide information for the decrypt operation and
the subsequent encrypt operation.
If your ciphertext was encrypted under an asymmetric CMK, you must identify the source CMK, that is, the CMK that encrypted the ciphertext. You must also supply the encryption algorithm that was used. This information is required to decrypt the data.
It is optional, but you can specify a source CMK even when the ciphertext was encrypted under a symmetric CMK.
This ensures that the ciphertext is decrypted only by using a particular CMK. If the CMK that you specify cannot
decrypt the ciphertext, the ReEncrypt
operation fails.
To reencrypt the data, you must specify the destination CMK, that is, the CMK that re-encrypts the data after it is decrypted. You can select a symmetric or asymmetric CMK. If the destination CMK is an asymmetric CMK, you must also provide the encryption algorithm. The algorithm that you choose must be compatible with the CMK.
When you use an asymmetric CMK to encrypt or reencrypt data, be sure to record the CMK and encryption algorithm that you choose. You will be required to provide the same CMK and encryption algorithm when you decrypt the data. If the CMK and algorithm do not match the values used to encrypt the data, the decrypt operation fails.
You are not required to supply the CMK ID and encryption algorithm when you decrypt with symmetric CMKs because AWS KMS stores this information in the ciphertext blob. AWS KMS cannot store metadata in ciphertext generated with asymmetric keys. The standard format for asymmetric key ciphertext does not include configurable fields.
Unlike other AWS KMS API operations, ReEncrypt
callers must have two permissions:
kms:ReEncryptFrom
permission on the source CMK
kms:ReEncryptTo
permission on the destination CMK
To permit reencryption from or to a CMK, include the "kms:ReEncrypt*"
permission in your key policy. This permission is
automatically included in the key policy when you use the console to create a CMK. But you must include it
manually when you create a CMK programmatically or when you use the PutKeyPolicy operation to set a key
policy.
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

RetireGrantResult retireGrant(RetireGrantRequest retireGrantRequest)
Retires a grant. To clean up, you can retire a grant when you're done using it. You should revoke a grant when you intend to actively deny operations that depend on it. The following are permitted to call this API:
The AWS account (root user) under which the grant was created
The RetiringPrincipal
, if present in the grant
The GranteePrincipal
, if RetireGrant
is an operation specified in the grant
You must identify the grant to retire by its grant token or by a combination of the grant ID and the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the customer master key (CMK). A grant token is a unique variable-length base64-encoded string. A grant ID is a 64 character unique identifier of a grant. The CreateGrant operation returns both.

ScheduleKeyDeletionResult scheduleKeyDeletion(ScheduleKeyDeletionRequest scheduleKeyDeletionRequest)
Schedules the deletion of a customer master key (CMK). You may provide a waiting period, specified in days,
before deletion occurs. If you do not provide a waiting period, the default period of 30 days is used. When this
operation is successful, the key state of the CMK changes to PendingDeletion
. Before the waiting
period ends, you can use CancelKeyDeletion to cancel the deletion of the CMK. After the waiting period
ends, AWS KMS deletes the CMK and all AWS KMS data associated with it, including all aliases that refer to it.
Deleting a CMK is a destructive and potentially dangerous operation. When a CMK is deleted, all data that was encrypted under the CMK is unrecoverable. To prevent the use of a CMK without deleting it, use DisableKey.
If you schedule deletion of a CMK from a custom key store,
when the waiting period expires, ScheduleKeyDeletion
deletes the CMK from AWS KMS. Then AWS KMS
makes a best effort to delete the key material from the associated AWS CloudHSM cluster. However, you might need
to manually delete
the orphaned key material from the cluster and its backups.
You cannot perform this operation on a CMK in a different AWS account.
For more information about scheduling a CMK for deletion, see Deleting Customer Master Keys in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

SignResult sign(SignRequest signRequest)
Creates a digital signature for a message or message digest by using the private key in an asymmetric CMK. To verify the signature, use the Verify operation, or use the public key in the same asymmetric CMK outside of AWS KMS. For information about symmetric and asymmetric CMKs, see Using Symmetric and Asymmetric CMKs in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
Digital signatures are generated and verified by using asymmetric key pair, such as an RSA or ECC pair that is represented by an asymmetric customer master key (CMK). The key owner (or an authorized user) uses their private key to sign a message. Anyone with the public key can verify that the message was signed with that particular private key and that the message hasn't changed since it was signed.
To use the Sign
operation, provide the following information:
Use the KeyId
parameter to identify an asymmetric CMK with a KeyUsage
value of
SIGN_VERIFY
. To get the KeyUsage
value of a CMK, use the DescribeKey operation.
The caller must have kms:Sign
permission on the CMK.
Use the Message
parameter to specify the message or message digest to sign. You can submit messages
of up to 4096 bytes. To sign a larger message, generate a hash digest of the message, and then provide the hash
digest in the Message
parameter. To indicate whether the message is a full message or a digest, use
the MessageType
parameter.
Choose a signing algorithm that is compatible with the CMK.
When signing a message, be sure to record the CMK and the signing algorithm. This information is required to verify the signature.
To verify the signature that this operation generates, use the Verify operation. Or use the GetPublicKey operation to download the public key and then use the public key to verify the signature outside of AWS KMS.
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

TagResourceResult tagResource(TagResourceRequest tagResourceRequest)
Adds or edits tags for a customer master key (CMK). You cannot perform this operation on a CMK in a different AWS account.
Each tag consists of a tag key and a tag value. Tag keys and tag values are both required, but tag values can be empty (null) strings.
You can only use a tag key once for each CMK. If you use the tag key again, AWS KMS replaces the current tag value with the specified value.
For information about the rules that apply to tag keys and tag values, see User-Defined Tag Restrictions in the AWS Billing and Cost Management User Guide.
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

TagException
- The request was rejected because one or more tags are not valid.UpdateAliasResult updateAlias(UpdateAliasRequest updateAliasRequest)
Associates an existing AWS KMS alias with a different customer master key (CMK). Each alias is associated with only one CMK at a time, although a CMK can have multiple aliases. The alias and the CMK must be in the same AWS account and region. You cannot perform this operation on an alias in a different AWS account.
The current and new CMK must be the same type (both symmetric or both asymmetric), and they must have the same
key usage (ENCRYPT_DECRYPT
or SIGN_VERIFY
). This restriction prevents errors in code
that uses aliases. If you must assign an alias to a different type of CMK, use DeleteAlias to delete the
old alias and CreateAlias to create a new alias.
You cannot use UpdateAlias
to change an alias name. To change an alias name, use DeleteAlias
to delete the old alias and CreateAlias to create a new alias.
Because an alias is not a property of a CMK, you can create, update, and delete the aliases of a CMK without affecting the CMK. Also, aliases do not appear in the response from the DescribeKey operation. To get the aliases of all CMKs in the account, use the ListAliases operation.
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

UpdateCustomKeyStoreResult updateCustomKeyStore(UpdateCustomKeyStoreRequest updateCustomKeyStoreRequest)
Changes the properties of a custom key store. Use the CustomKeyStoreId
parameter to identify the
custom key store you want to edit. Use the remaining parameters to change the properties of the custom key store.
You can only update a custom key store that is disconnected. To disconnect the custom key store, use DisconnectCustomKeyStore. To reconnect the custom key store after the update completes, use ConnectCustomKeyStore. To find the connection state of a custom key store, use the DescribeCustomKeyStores operation.
Use the parameters of UpdateCustomKeyStore
to edit your keystore settings.
Use the NewCustomKeyStoreName parameter to change the friendly name of the custom key store to the value that you specify.
Use the KeyStorePassword parameter tell AWS KMS the current password of the
kmsuser
crypto user (CU) in the associated AWS CloudHSM cluster. You can use this parameter to
fix
connection failures that occur when AWS KMS cannot log into the associated cluster because the
kmsuser
password has changed. This value does not change the password in the AWS CloudHSM cluster.
Use the CloudHsmClusterId parameter to associate the custom key store with a different, but related, AWS CloudHSM cluster. You can use this parameter to repair a custom key store if its AWS CloudHSM cluster becomes corrupted or is deleted, or when you need to create or restore a cluster from a backup.
If the operation succeeds, it returns a JSON object with no properties.
This operation is part of the Custom Key Store feature feature in AWS KMS, which combines the convenience and extensive integration of AWS KMS with the isolation and control of a single-tenant key store.
updateCustomKeyStoreRequest
- CustomKeyStoreNotFoundException
- The request was rejected because AWS KMS cannot find a custom key store with the specified key store name

KMSInternalException
- The request was rejected because an internal exception occurred. The request can be retried.CloudHsmClusterNotActiveException
- The request was rejected because the AWS CloudHSM cluster that is associated with the custom key store is
not active. Initialize and activate the cluster and try the command again. For detailed instructions, see
Getting Started
in the AWS CloudHSM User Guide.CloudHsmClusterInvalidConfigurationException
- The request was rejected because the associated AWS CloudHSM cluster did not meet the configuration
requirements for a custom key store.
The cluster must be configured with private subnets in at least two different Availability Zones in the Region.
The security group for the cluster (cloudhsm-cluster-<cluster-id>-sg) must include inbound rules and outbound rules that allow TCP traffic on ports 2223-2225. The Source in the inbound rules and the Destination in the outbound rules must match the security group ID. These rules are set by default when you create the cluster. Do not delete or change them. To get information about a particular security group, use the DescribeSecurityGroups operation.
The cluster must contain at least as many HSMs as the operation requires. To add HSMs, use the AWS CloudHSM CreateHsm operation.
For the CreateCustomKeyStore, UpdateCustomKeyStore, and CreateKey operations, the AWS CloudHSM cluster must have at least two active HSMs, each in a different Availability Zone. For the ConnectCustomKeyStore operation, the AWS CloudHSM must contain at least one active HSM.
For information about the requirements for an AWS CloudHSM cluster that is associated with a custom key store, see Assemble the Prerequisites in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

VerifyResult verify(VerifyRequest verifyRequest)
Verifies a digital signature that was generated by the Sign operation.
Verification confirms that an authorized user signed the message with the specified CMK and signing algorithm,
and the message hasn't changed since it was signed. If the signature is verified, the value of the
SignatureValid
field in the response is True
. If the signature verification fails, the
Verify
operation fails with an KMSInvalidSignatureException
exception.
A digital signature is generated by using the private key in an asymmetric CMK. The signature is verified by using the public key in the same asymmetric CMK. For information about symmetric and asymmetric CMKs, see Using Symmetric and Asymmetric CMKs in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
To verify a digital signature, you can use the Verify
operation. Specify the same asymmetric CMK,
message, and signing algorithm that were used to produce the signature.
You can also verify the digital signature by using the public key of the CMK outside of AWS KMS. Use the
GetPublicKey operation to download the public key in the asymmetric CMK and then use the public key to
verify the signature outside of AWS KMS. The advantage of using the Verify
operation is that it is
performed within AWS KMS. As a result, it's easy to call, the operation is performed within the FIPS boundary, it
is logged in AWS CloudTrail, and you can use key policy and IAM policy to determine who is authorized to use the
CMK to verify signatures.
The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
