AWS::KMS::Key
.
The AWS::KMS::Key
resource specifies an KMS key in AWS Key Management Service . You can use this resource to create symmetric encryption KMS keys, asymmetric KMS keys for encryption or signing, and symmetric HMAC KMS keys. You can use AWS::KMS::Key
to create multi-Region primary keys of all supported types. To replicate a multi-Region key, use the AWS::KMS::ReplicaKey
resource.
If you change the value of the
KeySpec
,KeyUsage
, orMultiRegion
properties of an existing KMS key, the update request fails, regardless of the value of theUpdateReplacePolicy
attribute . This prevents you from accidentally deleting a KMS key by changing any of its immutable property values. > AWS KMS replaced the term customer master key (CMK) with AWS KMS key and KMS key . The concept has not changed. To prevent breaking changes, AWS KMS is keeping some variations of this term.
You can use symmetric encryption KMS keys to encrypt and decrypt small amounts of data, but they are more commonly used to generate data keys and data key pairs. You can also use a symmetric encryption KMS key to encrypt data stored in AWS services that are integrated with AWS KMS . For more information, see Symmetric encryption KMS keys in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .
You can use asymmetric KMS keys to encrypt and decrypt data or sign messages and verify signatures. To create an asymmetric key, you must specify an asymmetric KeySpec
value and a KeyUsage
value. For details, see Asymmetric keys in AWS KMS in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .
You can use HMAC KMS keys (which are also symmetric keys) to generate and verify hash-based message authentication codes. To create an HMAC key, you must specify an HMAC KeySpec
value and a KeyUsage
value of GENERATE_VERIFY_MAC
. For details, see HMAC keys in AWS KMS in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .
You can also create symmetric encryption, asymmetric, and HMAC multi-Region primary keys. To create a multi-Region primary key, set the MultiRegion
property to true
. For information about multi-Region keys, see Multi-Region keys in AWS KMS in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .
You cannot use the AWS::KMS::Key
resource to specify a KMS key with imported key material or a KMS key in a custom key store .
Regions
AWS KMS CloudFormation resources are available in all Regions in which AWS KMS and AWS CloudFormation are supported. You can use the AWS::KMS::Key
resource to create and manage all KMS key types that are supported in a Region.
Example:
CfnInclude cfnTemplate; CfnKey cfnKey = (CfnKey)cfnTemplate.getResource("Key"); IKey key = Key.fromCfnKey(cfnKey);

-
getKeyPolicy
The key policy that authorizes use of the KMS key. The key policy must conform to the following rules.- The key policy must allow the caller to make a subsequent PutKeyPolicy request on the KMS key. This reduces the risk that the KMS key becomes unmanageable. For more information, refer to the scenario in the Default key policy section of the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .
- Each statement in the key policy must contain one or more principals. The principals in the key policy must exist and be visible to AWS KMS . When you create a new AWS principal (for example, an IAM user or role), you might need to enforce a delay before including the new principal in a key policy because the new principal might not be immediately visible to AWS KMS . For more information, see Changes that I make are not always immediately visible in the AWS Identity and Access Management User Guide .
If you are unsure of which policy to use, consider the default key policy . This is the key policy that AWS KMS applies to KMS keys that are created by using the CreateKey API with no specified key policy. It gives the AWS account that owns the key permission to perform all operations on the key. It also allows you write IAM policies to authorize access to the key. For details, see Default key policy in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .
A key policy document can include only the following characters:
- Printable ASCII characters

getKeySpec
Specifies the type of KMS key to create.The default value,
SYMMETRIC_DEFAULT
, creates a KMS key with a 256-bit symmetric key for encryption and decryption. In China Regions,SYMMETRIC_DEFAULT
creates a 128-bit symmetric key that uses SM4 encryption. You can't change theKeySpec
value after the KMS key is created. For help choosing a key spec for your KMS key, see Choosing a KMS key type in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .The
KeySpec
property determines the type of key material in the KMS key and the algorithms that the KMS key supports. To further restrict the algorithms that can be used with the KMS key, use a condition key in its key policy or IAM policy. For more information, see AWS KMS condition keys in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .If you change the value of the
KeySpec
property on an existing KMS key, the update request fails, regardless of the value of theUpdateReplacePolicy
attribute . This prevents you from accidentally deleting a KMS key by changing an immutable property value. > AWS services that are integrated with AWS KMS use symmetric encryption KMS keys to protect your data.

getPendingWindowInDays
Specifies the number of days in the waiting period before AWS KMS deletes a KMS key that has been removed from a CloudFormation stack.Enter a value between 7 and 30 days. The default value is 30 days.
When you remove a KMS key from a CloudFormation stack, AWS KMS schedules the KMS key for deletion and starts the mandatory waiting period. The
PendingWindowInDays
property determines the length of waiting period. During the waiting period, the key state of KMS key isPending Deletion
orPending Replica Deletion
, which prevents the KMS key from being used in cryptographic operations. When the waiting period expires, AWS KMS permanently deletes the KMS key.AWS KMS will not delete a multi-Region primary key that has replica keys. If you remove a multi-Region primary key from a CloudFormation stack, its key state changes to
PendingReplicaDeletion
so it cannot be replicated or used in cryptographic operations. This state can persist indefinitely. When the last of its replica keys is deleted, the key state of the primary key changes toPendingDeletion
and the waiting period specified byPendingWindowInDays
begins. When this waiting period expires, AWS KMS deletes the primary key. For details, see Deleting multi-Region keys in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide .You cannot use a CloudFormation template to cancel deletion of the KMS key after you remove it from the stack, regardless of the waiting period. If you specify a KMS key in your template, even one with the same name, CloudFormation creates a new KMS key. To cancel deletion of a KMS key, use the AWS KMS console or the CancelKeyDeletion operation.
