Smaws_Client_KMS.ImportKeyMaterialImports or reimports key material into an existing KMS key that was created without key material. You can also use this operation to set or update the expiration model and expiration date of the imported key material.
By default, KMS creates KMS keys with key material that it generates. You can also generate and import your own key material. For more information about importing key material, see Importing key material.
For asymmetric, HMAC and multi-Region keys, you cannot change the key material after the initial import. You can import multiple key materials into single-Region, symmetric encryption keys and rotate the key material on demand using RotateKeyOnDemand.
After you import key material, you can reimport the same key material into that KMS key or, if the key supports on-demand rotation, import new key material. You can use the ImportType parameter to indicate whether you are importing new key material or re-importing previously imported key material. You might reimport key material to replace key material that expired or key material that you deleted. You might also reimport key material to change the expiration model or expiration date of the key material.
Each time you import key material into KMS, you can determine whether (ExpirationModel) and when (ValidTo) the key material expires. To change the expiration of your key material, you must import it again, either by calling ImportKeyMaterial or using the import features of the KMS console.
Before you call ImportKeyMaterial, complete these steps:
Create or identify a KMS key with EXTERNAL origin, which indicates that the KMS key is designed for imported key material.
To create a new KMS key for imported key material, call the CreateKey operation with an Origin value of EXTERNAL. You can create a symmetric encryption KMS key, HMAC KMS key, asymmetric encryption KMS key, asymmetric key agreement key, or asymmetric signing KMS key. You can also import key material into a multi-Region key of any supported type. However, you can't import key material into a KMS key in a custom key store.
GetParametersForImport operation to get a public key and import token set for importing key material.GetParametersForImport response to encrypt your key material.Then, in an ImportKeyMaterial request, you submit your encrypted key material and import token. When calling this operation, you must specify the following values:
Origin must be EXTERNAL and its KeyState must be PendingImport. You cannot perform this operation on a KMS key in a custom key store, or on a KMS key in a different Amazon Web Services account. To get the Origin and KeyState of a KMS key, call DescribeKey.GetParametersForImport returned. You must use a public key and token from the same GetParametersForImport response.Whether the key material expires (ExpirationModel) and, if so, when (ValidTo). For help with this choice, see Setting an expiration time in the Key Management Service Developer Guide.
If you set an expiration date, KMS deletes the key material from the KMS key on the specified date, making the KMS key unusable. To use the KMS key in cryptographic operations again, you must reimport the same key material. However, you can delete and reimport the key material at any time, including before the key material expires. Each time you reimport, you can eliminate or reset the expiration time.
When this operation is successful, the key state of the KMS key changes from PendingImport to Enabled, and you can use the KMS key in cryptographic operations. For single-Region, symmetric encryption keys, you will need to import all of the key materials associated with the KMS key to change its state to Enabled. Use the ListKeyRotations operation to list the ID and import state of each key material associated with a KMS key.
If this operation fails, use the exception to help determine the problem. If the error is related to the key material, the import token, or wrapping key, use GetParametersForImport to get a new public key and import token for the KMS key and repeat the import procedure. For help, see Create a KMS key with imported key material in the Key Management Service Developer Guide.
The KMS key that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see Key states of KMS keys in the Key Management Service Developer Guide.
Cross-account use: No. You cannot perform this operation on a KMS key in a different Amazon Web Services account.
