Class CreateAliasRequest

java.lang.Object

com.amazonaws.AmazonWebServiceRequest

com.amazonaws.services.kms.model.CreateAliasRequest

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

public class CreateAliasRequest
extends AmazonWebServiceRequest
implements java.io.Serializable

Creates a friendly name for a customer master key (CMK). You can use an alias to identify a CMK in the AWS KMS console, in the DescribeKey operation and in cryptographic operations, such as Encrypt and GenerateDataKey.

You can also change the CMK that's associated with the alias (UpdateAlias) or delete the alias (DeleteAlias) at any time. These operations don't affect the underlying CMK.

You can associate the alias with any customer managed CMK in the same AWS Region. Each alias is associated with only on CMK at a time, but a CMK can have multiple aliases. A valid CMK is required. You can't create an alias without a CMK.

The alias must be unique in the account and Region, but you can have aliases with the same name in different Regions. For detailed information about aliases, see Using aliases in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

This operation does not return a response. To get the alias that you created, use the ListAliases operation.

The CMK that you use for this operation must be in a compatible key state. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

Cross-account use: No. You cannot perform this operation on an alias in a different AWS account.

Required permissions

• kms:CreateAlias on the alias (IAM policy).

• kms:CreateAlias on the CMK (key policy).

For details, see Controlling access to aliases in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

• DeleteAlias

• ListAliases
