Importing Key Material

This guide explains how to import key material into a QKMS key.

Overview​

QKMS allows you to import your own key material to use with your KMS keys. This gives you more control over the generation and management of your cryptographic keys.

Prerequisites​

Before importing key material, ensure you have:

  • Created a KMS key without key material
  • Necessary permissions to perform key import operations
  • Key material ready in the correct format

Process​

The key material import process involves three main steps:

  1. Get import parameters using GetParametersForImport
  2. Prepare your key material using the provided wrapping key
  3. Import the wrapped key material using ImportKeyMaterial
