Cancels the deletion of a customer master key (CMK). When this operation is successful, the CMK is set to the Disabled state. To enable a CMK, use EnableKey.

For more information about scheduling and canceling deletion of a CMK, go to Deleting Customer Master Keys in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

Creates a display name for a customer master key. An alias can be used to identify a key and should be unique. The console enforces a one-to-one mapping between the alias and a key. An alias name can contain only alphanumeric characters, forward slashes (/), underscores (_), and dashes (-). An alias must start with the word “alias” followed by a forward slash (alias/). An alias that begins with “aws” after the forward slash (alias/aws…) is reserved by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The alias and the key it is mapped to must be in the same AWS account and the same region.

To map an alias to a different key, call UpdateAlias.

Adds a grant to a key to specify who can use the key and under what conditions. Grants are alternate permission mechanisms to key policies.

For more information about grants, see Grants in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

Creates a customer master key. Customer master keys can be used to encrypt small amounts of data (less than 4K) directly, but they are most commonly used to encrypt or envelope data keys that are then used to encrypt customer data. For more information about data keys, see GenerateDataKey and GenerateDataKeyWithoutPlaintext.

Decrypts ciphertext. Ciphertext is plaintext that has been previously encrypted by using any of the following functions:

• `GenerateDataKey`
• `GenerateDataKeyWithoutPlaintext`
• `Encrypt`

Note that if a caller has been granted access permissions to all keys (through, for example, IAM user policies that grant Decrypt permission on all resources), then ciphertext encrypted by using keys in other accounts where the key grants access to the caller can be decrypted. To remedy this, we recommend that you do not grant Decrypt access in an IAM user policy. Instead grant Decrypt access only in key policies. If you must grant Decrypt access in an IAM user policy, you should scope the resource to specific keys or to specific trusted accounts.

Deletes the specified alias. To map an alias to a different key, call UpdateAlias.

Provides detailed information about the specified customer master key.

Sets the state of a master key to disabled, thereby preventing its use for cryptographic operations. For more information about how key state affects the use of a master key, go to How Key State Affects the Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

Disables rotation of the specified key.

Marks a key as enabled, thereby permitting its use.

Enables rotation of the specified customer master key.

Encrypts plaintext into ciphertext by using a customer master key. The Encrypt function has two primary use cases:

• You can encrypt up to 4 KB of arbitrary data such as an RSA key, a database password, or other sensitive customer information.
• If you are moving encrypted data from one region to another, you can use this API to encrypt in the new region the plaintext data key that was used to encrypt the data in the original region. This provides you with an encrypted copy of the data key that can be decrypted in the new region and used there to decrypt the encrypted data.

Unless you are moving encrypted data from one region to another, you don’t use this function to encrypt a generated data key within a region. You retrieve data keys already encrypted by calling the GenerateDataKey or GenerateDataKeyWithoutPlaintext function. Data keys don’t need to be encrypted again by calling Encrypt.

If you want to encrypt data locally in your application, you can use the GenerateDataKey function to return a plaintext data encryption key and a copy of the key encrypted under the customer master key (CMK) of your choosing.

Generates a data key that you can use in your application to locally encrypt data. This call returns a plaintext version of the key in the Plaintext field of the response object and an encrypted copy of the key in the CiphertextBlob field. The key is encrypted by using the master key specified by the KeyId field. To decrypt the encrypted key, pass it to the Decrypt API.

We recommend that you use the following pattern to locally encrypt data: call the GenerateDataKey API, use the key returned in the Plaintext response field to locally encrypt data, and then erase the plaintext data key from memory. Store the encrypted data key (contained in the CiphertextBlob field) alongside of the locally encrypted data.

Returns a data key encrypted by a customer master key without the plaintext copy of that key. Otherwise, this API functions exactly like GenerateDataKey. You can use this API to, for example, satisfy an audit requirement that an encrypted key be made available without exposing the plaintext copy of that key.

Generates an unpredictable byte string.

Retrieves a policy attached to the specified key.

Retrieves a Boolean value that indicates whether key rotation is enabled for the specified key.

Lists all of the key aliases in the account.

List the grants for a specified key.

Retrieves a list of policies attached to a key.

Lists the customer master keys.

Returns a list of all grants for which the grant’s RetiringPrincipal matches the one specified.

A typical use is to list all grants that you are able to retire. To retire a grant, use RetireGrant.

Attaches a policy to the specified key.

Encrypts data on the server side with a new customer master key without exposing the plaintext of the data on the client side. The data is first decrypted and then encrypted. This operation can also be used to change the encryption context of a ciphertext.

Unlike other actions, ReEncrypt is authorized twice - once as ReEncryptFrom on the source key and once as ReEncryptTo on the destination key. We therefore recommend that you include the "action":"kms:ReEncrypt*" statement in your key policies to permit re-encryption from or to the key. The statement is included automatically when you authorize use of the key through the console but must be included manually when you set a policy by using the PutKeyPolicy function.

Retires a grant. You can retire a grant when you’re done using it to clean up. 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 account that created the grant
• The `RetiringPrincipal`, if

  present

• The GranteePrincipal, if RetireGrant is a grantee operation

Revokes a grant. You can revoke a grant to actively deny operations that depend on it.

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 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 point to it.

Updates an alias to map it to a different key.

An alias is not a property of a key. Therefore, an alias can be mapped to and unmapped from an existing key without changing the properties of the key.

An alias name can contain only alphanumeric characters, forward slashes (/), underscores (_), and dashes (-). An alias must start with the word “alias” followed by a forward slash (alias/). An alias that begins with “aws” after the forward slash (alias/aws…) is reserved by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The alias and the key it is mapped to must be in the same AWS account and the same region.

Updates the description of a key.
