Network.AWS.KMS.Encrypt

Contents

Description

Encrypts plaintext into ciphertext by using a customer master key. The Encrypt function has two primary use cases:

  • You can encrypt up to 4 KB of arbitrary data such as an RSA key, a database password, or other sensitive customer information.
  • If you are moving encrypted data from one region to another, you can use this API to encrypt in the new region the plaintext data key that was used to encrypt the data in the original region. This provides you with an encrypted copy of the data key that can be decrypted in the new region and used there to decrypt the encrypted data.

Unless you are moving encrypted data from one region to another, you don't use this function to encrypt a generated data key within a region. You retrieve data keys already encrypted by calling the GenerateDataKey or GenerateDataKeyWithoutPlaintext function. Data keys don't need to be encrypted again by calling Encrypt.

If you want to encrypt data locally in your application, you can use the GenerateDataKey function to return a plaintext data encryption key and a copy of the key encrypted under the customer master key (CMK) of your choosing.

See: AWS API Reference for Encrypt.

Synopsis

Creating a Request

encrypt Source

Creates a value of Encrypt with the minimum fields required to make a request.

Use one of the following lenses to modify other fields as desired:

Request Lenses

eEncryptionContext :: Lens' Encrypt (HashMap Text Text) Source

Name/value pair that specifies the encryption context to be used for authenticated encryption. If used here, the same value must be supplied to the Decrypt API or decryption will fail. For more information, see Encryption Context.

eGrantTokens :: Lens' Encrypt [Text] Source

For more information, see Grant Tokens.

eKeyId :: Lens' Encrypt Text Source

A unique identifier for the customer master key. This value can be a globally unique identifier, a fully specified ARN to either an alias or a key, or an alias name prefixed by "alias/".

  • Key ARN Example - arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012
  • Alias ARN Example - arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:alias/MyAliasName
  • Globally Unique Key ID Example - 12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012
  • Alias Name Example - alias/MyAliasName

ePlaintext :: Lens' Encrypt ByteString Source

Data to be encrypted.

Note: This Lens automatically encodes and decodes Base64 data, despite what the AWS documentation might say. The underlying isomorphism will encode to Base64 representation during serialisation, and decode from Base64 representation during deserialisation. This Lens accepts and returns only raw unencoded data.

Destructuring the Response

encryptResponse Source

Creates a value of EncryptResponse with the minimum fields required to make a request.

Use one of the following lenses to modify other fields as desired:

Response Lenses

ersKeyId :: Lens' EncryptResponse (Maybe Text) Source

The ID of the key used during encryption.

ersCiphertextBlob :: Lens' EncryptResponse (Maybe ByteString) Source

The encrypted plaintext. If you are using the CLI, the value is Base64 encoded. Otherwise, it is not encoded.

Note: This Lens automatically encodes and decodes Base64 data, despite what the AWS documentation might say. The underlying isomorphism will encode to Base64 representation during serialisation, and decode from Base64 representation during deserialisation. This Lens accepts and returns only raw unencoded data.

ersResponseStatus :: Lens' EncryptResponse Int Source

The response status code.
