AWSKMSDecryptRequest

Objective-C

@interface AWSKMSDecryptRequest

Swift

class AWSKMSDecryptRequest

  • Ciphertext to be decrypted. The blob includes metadata.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, strong) NSData *_Nullable ciphertextBlob;

    Swift

    var ciphertextBlob: Data? { get set }

  • Specifies the encryption algorithm that will be used to decrypt the ciphertext. Specify the same algorithm that was used to encrypt the data. If you specify a different algorithm, the Decrypt operation fails.

    This parameter is required only when the ciphertext was encrypted under an asymmetric CMK. The default value, SYMMETRIC_DEFAULT, represents the only supported algorithm that is valid for symmetric CMKs.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic) AWSKMSEncryptionAlgorithmSpec encryptionAlgorithm;

    Swift

    var encryptionAlgorithm: AWSKMSEncryptionAlgorithmSpec { get set }

  • Specifies the encryption context to use when decrypting the data. An encryption context is valid only for cryptographic operations with a symmetric CMK. The standard asymmetric encryption algorithms that AWS KMS uses do not support an encryption context.

    An encryption context is a collection of non-secret key-value pairs that represents additional authenticated data. When you use an encryption context to encrypt data, you must specify the same (an exact case-sensitive match) encryption context to decrypt the data. An encryption context is optional when encrypting with a symmetric CMK, but it is highly recommended.

    For more information, see Encryption Context in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, strong) NSDictionary<NSString *, NSString *> *_Nullable encryptionContext;

    Swift

    var encryptionContext: [String : String]? { get set }

  • A list of grant tokens.

    Use a grant token when your permission to call this operation comes from a newly created grant that has not yet achieved eventual consistency. Use a grant token when your permission to call this operation comes from a new grant that has not yet achieved eventual consistency. For more information, see Grant token in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray<NSString *> *_Nullable grantTokens;

    Swift

    var grantTokens: [String]? { get set }

  • Specifies the customer master key (CMK) that AWS KMS uses to decrypt the ciphertext. Enter a key ID of the CMK that was used to encrypt the ciphertext.

    This parameter is required only when the ciphertext was encrypted under an asymmetric CMK. If you used a symmetric CMK, AWS KMS can get the CMK from metadata that it adds to the symmetric ciphertext blob. However, it is always recommended as a best practice. This practice ensures that you use the CMK that you intend.

    To specify a CMK, use its key ID, key ARN, alias name, or alias ARN. When using an alias name, prefix it with "alias/". To specify a CMK in a different AWS account, you must use the key ARN or alias ARN.

    For example:

    • Key ID: 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab

    • Key ARN: arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab

    • Alias name: alias/ExampleAlias

    • Alias ARN: arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:111122223333:alias/ExampleAlias

    To get the key ID and key ARN for a CMK, use ListKeys or DescribeKey. To get the alias name and alias ARN, use ListAliases.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *_Nullable keyId;

    Swift

    var keyId: String? { get set }
