CreateKeyRequest Class | AWS SDK for .NET V2

Container for the parameters to the CreateKey operation. 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.
