Creating a Plaintext-Free DEK

Function

This API allows you to create a plaintext-free DEK, that is, the returned result of this API includes only the ciphertext of the DEK.

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"}

datakey_length

Yes

String

Number of bits of a key. The value is 512.

sequence

No

String

36-byte serial number of a request message

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

CMK ID

cipher_text

Yes

String

The ciphertext of a DEK is expressed in hexadecimal format, and two characters indicate one byte.

Examples

The following example describes how to create a plaintext free DEK whose ID is 0d0466b0-e727-4d9c-b35d-f84bb474a37f.

  • Example request 
    {
    "key_id": "0d0466b0-e727-4d9c-b35d-f84bb474a37f",
    "datakey_length": "512"
}
  • Example response 
    {
    "key_id": "0d0466b0-e727-4d9c-b35d-f84bb474a37f",
    "cipher_text": "020098005CDC28E29EC3230AA42E8985FBABA095037D6474C64519C9B564AB28B15739C88E7E887500D1094973C2DC16353DB7ED3946C73339517AB1E983D521F9E9D700DC5D9C42F557EBF3F608E3CBBEE0BC68136EE7D2A49117E00332BAC4AE4ED805EB6068FA900C5A8019BFE2C2651BE3E130643034363662302D653732372D346439632D623335642D66383462623437346133376600000000F160727EBDB83400C21D80D713B49D3A2C37F24AE160E7BB3DAC025ADC0C45E3"
