Table 2 Request parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

key_id

Yes

String

36-byte ID of a CMK that matches the regular expression ^[0-9a-z]{8}-[0-9a-z]{4}-[0-9a-z]{4}-[0-9a-z]{4}-[0-9a-z]{12}$

Example: 0d0466b0-e727-4d9c-b35d-f84bb474a37f

encryption_context

No

Object

Key-value pairs with a maximum length of 8192 characters. This parameter is used to record resource context information, excluding sensitive information, to ensure data integrity.

If this parameter is specified during encryption, it is also required for decryption.

Example: {"Key1":"Value1","Key2":"Value2"}

cipher_text

Yes

String

This parameter indicates the hexadecimal character string of the DEK ciphertext and the metadata. The value is the cipher_text value in the encryption result of a DEK.

datakey_cipher_length

Yes

String

Number of bytes of a key. The value range is 1 to 1024.

sequence

No

String

36-byte serial number of a request message

Example: 919c82d4-8046-4722-9094-35c3c6524cff

Description

data_key

Yes

String

Hexadecimal character string of the plaintext of a DEK

datakey_length

Yes

String

Number of bytes in the length of the plaintext of a DEK

datakey_dgst

Yes

String

Hexadecimal character string corresponding to the SHA-256 hash value of the plaintext of a DEK

Examples

The following is an example about how to use a CMK (ID: 0d0466b0-e727-4d9c-b35d-f84bb474a37f) to decrypt a DEK (ciphertext: 020098005273E14E6E8E95F5463BECDC27E80AF820B9FC086CB47861899149F67CF07DAFF2810B7D27BDF19AB7632488E0926A48DB2FC85BEA905119411B46244C5E6B8036C60A0B0B4842FFE6994518E89C19B1C1D688D9043BCD6053EA7BA0652642CE59F2543C80669139F4F71ABB9BD9A24330643034363662302D653732372D346439632D623335642D66383462623437346133376600000000D34457984F9730D57F228C210FD22CA6017913964B21D4ECE45D81092BB9112E; length: 64 bits).
