Request Syntax
response = client.cancel_key_deletion(
KeyId='string'
)
[REQUIRED]
The unique identifier for the customer master key (CMK) for which to cancel deletion.
Specify the key ID or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CMK.
For example:
To get the key ID and key ARN for a CMK, use ListKeys or DescribeKey .
{
'KeyId': 'string'
}
Response Structure
The unique identifier of the master key for which deletion is canceled.
Examples
The following example cancels deletion of the specified CMK.
response = client.cancel_key_deletion(
# The identifier of the CMK whose deletion you are canceling. You can use the key ID or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CMK.
KeyId='1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab',
)
print(response)
Expected Output:
{
# The ARN of the CMK whose deletion you canceled.
'KeyId': 'arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab',
'ResponseMetadata': {
'...': '...',
},
}
Creates a display name for a customer-managed customer master key (CMK). You can use an alias to identify a CMK in selected operations, such as Encrypt and GenerateDataKey .
Each CMK can have multiple aliases, but each alias points to only one CMK. The alias name must be unique in the AWS account and region. To simplify code that runs in multiple regions, use the same alias name, but point it to a different CMK in each region.
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.
The alias name can contain only alphanumeric characters, forward slashes (/), underscores (_), and dashes (-). Alias names cannot begin with aws/ . That alias name prefix is reserved for AWS managed CMKs.
The alias and the CMK it is mapped to must be in the same AWS account and the same region. You cannot perform this operation on an alias in a different AWS account.
To map an existing alias to a different CMK, call UpdateAlias .
The result of this operation varies with the key state of the CMK. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .

Request Syntax
response = client.create_alias(
AliasName='string',
TargetKeyId='string'
)
[REQUIRED]
Specifies the alias name. This value must begin with alias/ followed by the alias name, such as alias/ExampleAlias . The alias name cannot begin with aws/ . The alias/aws/ prefix is reserved for AWS managed CMKs.
[REQUIRED]
Identifies the CMK for which you are creating the alias. This value cannot be an alias.
Specify the key ID or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CMK.
For example:
To get the key ID and key ARN for a CMK, use ListKeys or DescribeKey .
None
Examples
The following example creates an alias for the specified customer master key (CMK).
response = client.create_alias(
# The alias to create. Aliases must begin with 'alias/'. Do not use aliases that begin with 'alias/aws' because they are reserved for use by AWS.
AliasName='alias/ExampleAlias',
# The identifier of the CMK whose alias you are creating. You can use the key ID or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CMK.
TargetKeyId='1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab',
)
print(response)
Expected Output:

}
Adds a grant to a customer master key (CMK). The grant specifies who can use the CMK and under what conditions. When setting permissions, grants are an alternative to key policies.
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 result of this operation varies with the key state of the CMK. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .

[REQUIRED]
The principal that is given permission to perform the operations that the grant permits.
To specify the principal, use the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS principal. Valid AWS principals include AWS accounts (root), IAM users, IAM roles, federated users, and assumed role users. For examples of the ARN syntax to use for specifying a principal, see AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) in the Example ARNs section of the AWS General Reference .
The principal that is given permission to retire the grant by using RetireGrant operation.
To specify the principal, use the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS principal. Valid AWS principals include AWS accounts (root), IAM users, federated users, and assumed role users. For examples of the ARN syntax to use for specifying a principal, see AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) in the Example ARNs section of the AWS General Reference .
[REQUIRED]
A list of operations that the grant permits.
A structure that you can use to allow certain operations in the grant only when the desired encryption context is present. For more information about encryption context, see Encryption Context in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .
A list of key-value pairs, all of which must be present in the encryption context of certain subsequent operations that the grant allows. When certain subsequent operations allowed by the grant include encryption context that matches this list or is a superset of this list, the grant allows the operation. Otherwise, the grant does not allow the operation.
A list of key-value pairs that must be present in the encryption context of certain subsequent operations that the grant allows. When certain subsequent operations allowed by the grant include encryption context that matches this list, the grant allows the operation. Otherwise, the grant does not allow the operation.
A list of grant tokens.
For more information, see Grant Tokens in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .
A friendly name for identifying the grant. Use this value to prevent the unintended creation of duplicate grants when retrying this request.
When this value is absent, all CreateGrant requests result in a new grant with a unique GrantId even if all the supplied parameters are identical. This can result in unintended duplicates when you retry the CreateGrant request.
When this value is present, you can retry a CreateGrant request with identical parameters; if the grant already exists, the original GrantId is returned without creating a new grant. Note that the returned grant token is unique with every CreateGrant request, even when a duplicate GrantId is returned. All grant tokens obtained in this way can be used interchangeably.

Creates a customer master key (CMK) in the caller's AWS account.
You can use a CMK to encrypt small amounts of data (4 KiB or less) directly. But CMKs are more commonly used to encrypt data encryption keys (DEKs), which are used to encrypt raw data. For more information about DEKs and the difference between CMKs and DEKs, see the following:
You cannot use this operation to create a CMK in a different AWS account.

)
The key policy to attach to the CMK.
If you provide a key policy, it must meet the following criteria:
If you do not provide a key policy, AWS KMS attaches a default key policy to the CMK. For more information, see Default Key Policy in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .
The key policy size limit is 32 kilobytes (32768 bytes).
A description of the CMK.
Use a description that helps you decide whether the CMK is appropriate for a task.
The intended use of the CMK.
You can use CMKs only for symmetric encryption and decryption.
The source of the CMK's key material.
The default is AWS_KMS , which means AWS KMS creates the key material. When this parameter is set to EXTERNAL , the request creates a CMK without key material so that you can import key material from your existing key management infrastructure. For more information about importing key material into AWS KMS, see Importing Key Material in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .
The CMK's Origin is immutable and is set when the CMK is created.
A flag to indicate whether to bypass the key policy lockout safety check.
Warning
Setting this value to true increases the risk that the CMK becomes unmanageable. Do not set this value to true indiscriminately.
For more information, refer to the scenario in the Default Key Policy section in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .
Use this parameter only when you include a policy in the request and you intend to prevent the principal that is making the request from making a subsequent PutKeyPolicy request on the CMK.
The default value is false.
One or more tags. 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.
Use this parameter to tag the CMK when it is created. Alternately, you can omit this parameter and instead tag the CMK after it is created using TagResource .
A key-value pair. A 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.
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 key of the tag.
The value of the tag.

Decrypts ciphertext. Ciphertext is plaintext that has been previously encrypted by using any of the following operations:
Whenever possible, use key policies to give users permission to call the Decrypt operation on the CMK, instead of 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 result of this operation varies with the key state of the CMK. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .

Encrypts plaintext into ciphertext by using a customer master key (CMK). The Encrypt operation has two primary use cases:
You don't need use this operation to encrypt a data key within a region. The GenerateDataKey and GenerateDataKeyWithoutPlaintext operations return an encrypted data key.
Also, you don't need to use this operation to encrypt data in your application. You can use the plaintext and encrypted data keys that the GenerateDataKey operation returns.
The result of this operation varies with the key state of the CMK. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .
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.

Returns a data encryption key that you can use in your application to encrypt data locally.
You must specify the customer master key (CMK) under which to generate the data key. You must also specify the length of the data key using either the KeySpec or NumberOfBytes field. You must specify one field or the other, but not both. For common key lengths (128-bit and 256-bit symmetric keys), we recommend that you use KeySpec . 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.
This operation returns a plaintext copy of the data key in the Plaintext field of the response, and an encrypted copy of the data key in the CiphertextBlob field. The data key is encrypted under the CMK specified in the KeyId field of the request.
We recommend that you use the following pattern to encrypt data locally in your application:
To decrypt data locally:
To return only an encrypted copy of the data key, use GenerateDataKeyWithoutPlaintext . To return a random byte string that is cryptographically secure, use GenerateRandom .
If you use the optional EncryptionContext field, you must store at least enough information to be able to reconstruct the full encryption context when you later send the ciphertext to the Decrypt operation. It is a good practice to choose an encryption context that you can reconstruct on the fly to better secure the ciphertext. For more information, see Encryption Context in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .
The result of this operation varies with the key state of the CMK. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .

Returns a data encryption key encrypted under a customer master key (CMK). This operation is identical to GenerateDataKey but returns only the encrypted copy of the data key.
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.
This operation is useful in a system that has multiple components with different degrees of trust. For example, consider a system that stores encrypted data in containers. Each container stores the encrypted data and an encrypted copy of the data key. One component of the system, called the control plane , creates new containers. When it creates a new container, it uses this operation (GenerateDataKeyWithoutPlaintext ) to get an encrypted data key and then stores it in the container. Later, a different component of the system, called the data plane , puts encrypted data into the containers. To do this, it passes the encrypted data key to the Decrypt operation. It then uses the returned plaintext data key to encrypt data and finally stores the encrypted data in the container. In this system, the control plane never sees the plaintext data key.
The result of this operation varies with the key state of the CMK. 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 .
The response might also include aliases that have no TargetKeyId field. These are predefined aliases that AWS has created but has not yet associated with a CMK. Aliases that AWS creates in your account, including predefined aliases, do not count against your AWS KMS aliases limit .

Encrypts data on the server side with a new customer master key (CMK) without exposing the plaintext of the data on the client side. The data is first decrypted and then reencrypted. You can also use this operation to change the encryption context of a ciphertext.
You can reencrypt data using CMKs in different AWS accounts.
Unlike other operations, ReEncrypt is authorized twice, once as ReEncryptFrom on the source CMK and once as ReEncryptTo on the destination CMK. We recommend that you include the "kms:ReEncrypt*" permission in your key policies to permit reencryption from or to the CMK. This permission is automatically included in the key policy when you create a CMK through the console. But you must include it manually when you create a CMK programmatically or when you set a key policy with the PutKeyPolicy operation.
The result of this operation varies with the key state of the CMK. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .

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:
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.

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 refer to it.
You cannot perform this operation on a CMK in a different AWS account.
Warning
Deleting a CMK is a destructive and potentially dangerous operation. When a CMK is deleted, all data that was encrypted under the CMK is rendered unrecoverable. To restrict the use of a CMK without deleting it, use DisableKey .
For more information about scheduling a CMK for deletion, see Deleting Customer Master Keys in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .
The result of this operation varies with the key state of the CMK. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .

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 result of this operation varies with the key state of the CMK. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .

Associates an existing alias with a different customer master key (CMK). Each CMK can have multiple aliases, but the aliases must be unique within the account and region. You cannot perform this operation on an alias in a different AWS account.
This operation works only on existing aliases. To change the alias of a CMK to a new value, use CreateAlias to create a new alias and DeleteAlias to delete the old 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.
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/ ). The alias name can contain only alphanumeric characters, forward slashes (/), underscores (_), and dashes (-). Alias names cannot begin with aws ; that alias name prefix is reserved by Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The result of this operation varies with the key state of the CMK. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .
