Creating a Plaintext-free DEK

Function

This API is used to create a data encryption key (DEK). The returned result contains only ciphertext.

Calling Method

For details, see Calling APIs.

URI

POST /v1.0/{project_id}/kms/create-datakey-without-plaintext

**Table 1** Path Parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
project_id	Yes	String	Project ID

Request Parameters

**Table 2** Request header parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
X-Auth-Token	Yes	String	User token. It can be obtained by calling the IAM API used to obtain a user token. The value of X-Subject-Token in the response header is the user token.

**Table 3** Request body parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
key_id	Yes	String	A 36-byte key ID which matches the regular expression ^[0-9a-z]{8}-[0-9a-z]{4}-[0-9a-z]{4}-[0-9a-z]{4}-[0-9a-z]{12}$, for example, 0d0466b0-e727-4d9c-b35d-f84bb474a37f.
key_spec	No	String	Bit length of the generated key. The value can be AES_256, AES_128, SM4, HMAC_256, HMAC_384, HMAC_512, or HMAC_SM3. AES_256: A 256-bit symmetric key AES_128: A 128-bit symmetric key SM4: An SM4 key HMAC_256: An HMAC_256 key HMAC_384: An HMAC_384 key HMAC_512: An HMAC_512 key HMAC_SM3: An HMAC_SM3 key If neither of them is specified, a 256-bit key is generated by default. If both of them are specified, only datakey_length takes effect. Notes: Set either datakey_length or key_spec.
datakey_length	No	String	Key length by bit. The value ranges from 8 to 8,192 and must be a multiple of 8. Note: You must configure either datakey_length or key_spec. If both are empty, a 256-bit key is generated by default. If both are specified, only datakey_length takes effect.
additional_authenticated_data	No	String	Non-sensitive extra data used for authentication. The value is a random string with at most 128 bytes.
pin	No	String	PIN code, which is used to authenticate the data key. This parameter is valid only in the level-4 cryptography testing scenario.
pin_type	No	String	PIN code type. The default value is CipherText. The value can be: PlainText: plaintext PIN CipherText: ciphertext PIN
sequence	No	String	A 36-byte serial number of a request message, for example, 919c82d4-8046-4722-9094-35c3c6524cff
