kms_get_parameters_for_import: Returns the items you need in order to import key material into AWS KMS from your existing key management infrastructure

Description

Returns the items you need in order to import key material into AWS KMS 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.

Usage

kms_get_parameters_for_import(KeyId, WrappingAlgorithm, WrappingKeySpec)

Arguments

KeyId

[required] The identifier of the CMK into which you will import key material. The CMK's Origin must be EXTERNAL.

Specify the key ID or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CMK.

For example:

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

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

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

WrappingAlgorithm

[required] The algorithm you will use to encrypt the key material before importing it with ImportKeyMaterial. For more information, see Encrypt the Key Material in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

WrappingKeySpec

[required] The type of wrapping key (public key) to return in the response. Only 2048-bit RSA public keys are supported.

Request syntax

svc$get_parameters_for_import(
  KeyId = "string",
  WrappingAlgorithm = "RSAES_PKCS1_V1_5"|"RSAES_OAEP_SHA_1"|"RSAES_OAEP_SHA_256",
  WrappingKeySpec = "RSA_2048"
)

Details

You must specify the key ID of the customer master key (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 a CMK in a different AWS account.

This operation returns a public key and an import token. Use the public key to encrypt the key material. Store the import token to send with a subsequent ImportKeyMaterial request. The public key and import token from the same response must be used together. These items are valid for 24 hours. When they expire, they cannot be used for a subsequent ImportKeyMaterial request. To get new ones, send another GetParametersForImport request.

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.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# The following example retrieves the public key and import token for the
# specified CMK.
# }
# NOT RUN {
svc$get_parameters_for_import(
  KeyId = "1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab",
  WrappingAlgorithm = "RSAES_OAEP_SHA_1",
  WrappingKeySpec = "RSA_2048"
)
# }
# NOT RUN {
# }
