kms_describe_key: Provides detailed information about the specified customer master key (CMK)

Description

Provides detailed information about the specified customer master key (CMK).

Usage

kms_describe_key(KeyId, GrantTokens)

Arguments

KeyId

[required] Describes the specified customer master key (CMK).

If you specify a predefined AWS alias (an AWS alias with no key ID), KMS associates the alias with an AWS managed CMK and returns its KeyId and Arn in the response.

To specify a CMK, use its key ID, Amazon Resource Name (ARN), alias name, or alias ARN. When using an alias name, prefix it with "alias/". To specify a CMK in a different AWS account, you must use the key ARN or alias ARN.

For example:

• Key ID: 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab

• Key ARN: arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab

• Alias name: alias/ExampleAlias

• Alias ARN: arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:111122223333:alias/ExampleAlias

To get the key ID and key ARN for a CMK, use ListKeys or DescribeKey. To get the alias name and alias ARN, use ListAliases.

GrantTokens

A list of grant tokens.

For more information, see Grant Tokens in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

Request syntax

svc$describe_key(
  KeyId = "string",
  GrantTokens = list(
    "string"
  )
)

Details

If you use DescribeKey on a predefined AWS alias, that is, an AWS alias with no key ID, AWS KMS associates the alias with an AWS managed CMK and returns its KeyId and Arn 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.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# The following example returns information (metadata) about the specified
# CMK.
# }
# NOT RUN {
svc$describe_key(
  KeyId = "1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab"
)
# }
# NOT RUN {
