2015/05/07 - AWS Key Management Service - 25 new api methods
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.
Request Syntax
client.create_key(
Policy='string',
Description='string',
KeyUsage='ENCRYPT_DECRYPT'
)
string
Policy to be attached to the key. This is required and delegates back to the account. The key is the root of trust.
string
Description of the key. We recommend that you choose a description that helps your customer decide whether the key is appropriate for a task.
string
Specifies the intended use of the key. Currently this defaults to ENCRYPT/DECRYPT, and only symmetric encryption and decryption are supported.

None
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.

None
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.

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.
If you decide to use the optional EncryptionContext parameter, you must also store the context in full or at least store enough information along with the encrypted data to be able to reconstruct the context when submitting the ciphertext to the Decrypt API. It is a good practice to choose a context that you can reconstruct on the fly to better secure the ciphertext. For more information about how this parameter is used, see Encryption Context.
To decrypt data, pass the encrypted data key to the Decrypt API. Decrypt uses the associated master key to decrypt the encrypted data key and returns it as plaintext. Use the plaintext data key to locally decrypt your data and then erase the key from memory. You must specify the encryption context, if any, that you specified when you generated the key. The encryption context is logged by CloudTrail, and you can use this log to help track the use of particular data.

client.list_key_policies(
KeyId='string',
Limit=123,
Marker='string'
)
string
[REQUIRED]
A unique identifier for the customer master key. This value can be a globally unique identifier, a fully specified ARN to either an alias or a key, or an alias name prefixed by "alias/".
Key ARN Example - arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012
Alias ARN Example - arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:/alias/MyAliasName
Globally Unique Key ID Example - 12345678-1234-1234-123456789012
Alias Name Example - alias/MyAliasName
integer
Specify this parameter only when paginating results to indicate the maximum number of policies you want listed in the response. If there are additional policies beyond the maximum you specify, the Truncated response element will be set to true.
string
Use this parameter only when paginating results, and only in a subsequent request after you've received a response where the results are truncated. Set it to the value of the NextMarker in the response you just received.
dict
Response Syntax
{
'PolicyNames': [
'string',
],
'NextMarker': 'string',
'Truncated': True|False
}
Response Structure
(dict) --
PolicyNames (list) --
A list of policy names. Currently, there is only one policy and it is named "Default".
(string) --
NextMarker (string) --
If Truncated is true, this value is present and contains the value to use for the Marker request parameter in a subsequent pagination request.
Truncated (boolean) --
A flag that indicates whether there are more items in the list. If your results were truncated, you can make a subsequent pagination request using the Marker request parameter to retrieve more policies in the list.
Marks a key as enabled, thereby permitting its use. You can have up to 25 enabled keys at one time.
Request Syntax
client.enable_key(
KeyId='string'
)
string
[REQUIRED]
A unique identifier for the customer master key. This value can be a globally unique identifier or the fully specified ARN to a key.
Key ARN Example - arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012
Globally Unique Key ID Example - 12345678-1234-1234-123456789012
None
Generates an unpredictable byte string.
Request Syntax
client.generate_random(
NumberOfBytes=123
)
integer
Integer that contains the number of bytes to generate. Common values are 128, 256, 512, 1024 and so on. The current limit is 1024 bytes.
dict
Response Syntax
{
'Plaintext': b'bytes'
}
Response Structure
(dict) --
Plaintext (bytes) --
Plaintext that contains the unpredictable byte string.
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.
Request Syntax
client.generate_data_key_without_plaintext(
KeyId='string',
EncryptionContext={
'string': 'string'
},
KeySpec='AES_256'|'AES_128',
NumberOfBytes=123,
GrantTokens=[
'string',
]
)
string
[REQUIRED]
A unique identifier for the customer master key. This value can be a globally unique identifier, a fully specified ARN to either an alias or a key, or an alias name prefixed by "alias/".
Key ARN Example - arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012
Alias ARN Example - arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:/alias/MyAliasName
Globally Unique Key ID Example - 12345678-1234-1234-123456789012
Alias Name Example - alias/MyAliasName
dict
Name:value pair that contains additional data to be authenticated during the encryption and decryption processes.
(string) --
(string) --
string
Value that identifies the encryption algorithm and key size. Currently this can be AES_128 or AES_256.
integer
Integer that contains the number of bytes to generate. Common values are 128, 256, 512, 1024 and so on. We recommend that you use the KeySpec parameter instead.

(string) --
dict
Response Syntax
{
'CiphertextBlob': b'bytes',
'KeyId': 'string'
}
Response Structure
(dict) --
CiphertextBlob (bytes) --
Ciphertext that contains the wrapped data key. You must store the blob and encryption context so that the key can be used in a future decrypt operation.
If you are using the CLI, the value is Base64 encoded. Otherwise, it is not encoded.
KeyId (string) --
System generated unique identifier of the key to be used to decrypt the encrypted copy of the data key.
