/**
* AWS Key Management Service
*
* AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) is an encryption and key management web service. This guide describes the AWS
* KMS operations that you can call programmatically. For general information about AWS KMS, see the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.
*
*
*
* AWS provides SDKs that consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and platforms (Java,
* Ruby, .Net, iOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs provide a convenient way to create programmatic access to AWS KMS and other
* AWS services. For example, the SDKs take care of tasks such as signing requests (see below), managing errors, and
* retrying requests automatically. For more information about the AWS SDKs, including how to download and install them,
* see Tools for Amazon Web Services.
*
*
*
* We recommend that you use the AWS SDKs to make programmatic API calls to AWS KMS.
*
*
* Clients must support TLS (Transport Layer Security) 1.0. We recommend TLS 1.2. Clients must also support cipher
* suites with Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) such as Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (DHE) or Elliptic Curve Ephemeral
* Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE). Most modern systems such as Java 7 and later support these modes.
*
*
* Signing Requests
*
*
* Requests must be signed by using an access key ID and a secret access key. We strongly recommend that you do
* not use your AWS account (root) access key ID and secret key for everyday work with AWS KMS. Instead, use the
* access key ID and secret access key for an IAM user, or you can use the AWS Security Token Service to generate
* temporary security credentials that you can use to sign requests.
*
*
* All AWS KMS operations require Signature Version 4.
*
*
* Logging API Requests
*
*
* AWS KMS supports AWS CloudTrail, a service that logs AWS API calls and related events for your AWS account and
* delivers them to an Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. By using the information collected by CloudTrail, you can
* determine what requests were made to AWS KMS, who made the request, when it was made, and so on. To learn more about
* CloudTrail, including how to turn it on and find your log files, see the AWS CloudTrail User Guide.
*

*
* Commonly Used APIs
*
*
* Of the APIs discussed in this guide, the following will prove the most useful for most applications. You will likely
* perform actions other than these, such as creating keys and assigning policies, by using the console.
