/** * <fullname>Key Management Service</fullname> * <p>Key Management Service (KMS) is an encryption and key management web service. This guide describes * the KMS operations that you can call programmatically. For general information about KMS, * see the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/"> * <i>Key Management Service Developer Guide</i> * </a>.</p> * <note> * <p>KMS has replaced the term <i>customer master key (CMK)</i> with <i>KMS key</i> and <i>KMS key</i>. The concept has not changed. To prevent breaking changes, KMS is keeping some variations of this term.</p> * <p>Amazon Web Services provides SDKs that consist of libraries and sample code for various programming * languages and platforms (Java, Rust, Python, Ruby, .Net, macOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs * provide a convenient way to create programmatic access to KMS and other Amazon Web Services services. * For example, the SDKs take care of tasks such as signing requests (see below), managing * errors, and retrying requests automatically. For more information about the Amazon Web Services SDKs, * including how to download and install them, see <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/tools/">Tools * for Amazon Web Services</a>.</p> * </note> * <p>We recommend that you use the Amazon Web Services SDKs to make programmatic API calls to KMS.</p> * <p>If you need to use FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules when communicating with * Amazon Web Services, use one of the FIPS endpoints in your preferred Amazon Web Services Region. If you need communicate * over IPv6, use the dual-stack endpoint in your preferred Amazon Web Services Region. For more information * see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/kms.html#kms_region">Service * endpoints</a> in the Key Management Service topic of the <i>Amazon Web Services General Reference</i> and <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/ipv6-kms.html">Dual-stack endpoint * support</a> in the KMS Developer Guide.</p> * <p>All KMS API calls must be signed and be transmitted using Transport Layer Security * (TLS). KMS recommends you always use the latest supported TLS version. Clients must also * support cipher suites with Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) such as Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman * (DHE) or Elliptic Curve Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE). Most modern systems such as Java 7 * and later support these modes.</p> * <p> * <b>Signing Requests</b> * </p> * <p>Requests must be signed using an access key ID and a secret access key. We strongly * recommend that you do not use your Amazon Web Services account root access key ID and secret access key for * everyday work. You can use the access key ID and secret access key for an IAM user or you * can use the Security Token Service (STS) to generate temporary security credentials and use those to sign * requests. </p> * <p>All KMS requests must be signed with <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html">Signature Version 4</a>.</p> * <p> * <b>Logging API Requests</b> * </p> * <p>KMS supports CloudTrail, a service that logs Amazon Web Services API calls and related events for your * Amazon Web Services account and delivers them to an Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. By using the * information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine what requests were made to KMS, who made * the request, when it was made, and so on. To learn more about CloudTrail, including how to turn it * on and find your log files, see the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/">CloudTrail User Guide</a>.</p> * <p> * <b>Additional Resources</b> * </p> * <p>For more information about credentials and request signing, see the following:</p> * <ul> * <li> * <p> * <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html">Amazon Web Services * Security Credentials</a> - This topic provides general information about the types * of credentials used to access Amazon Web Services.</p> * </li> * <li> * <p> * <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp.html">Temporary * Security Credentials</a> - This section of the <i>IAM User Guide</i> * describes how to create and use temporary security credentials.</p> * </li> * <li> * <p> * <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html">Signature Version * 4 Signing Process</a> - This set of topics walks you through the process of signing * a request using an access key ID and a secret access key.</p> * </li> * </ul> * <p> * <b>Commonly Used API Operations</b> * </p> * <p>Of the API operations discussed in this guide, the following will prove the most useful * for most applications.
