Last updated: 2023-03-24 16:02:39

1. API Description

Domain name for API request: kms.tencentcloudapi.com.

This API is used to encrypt any data up to 4KB. It can be used to encrypt database passwords, RSA Key, or other small sensitive information. For application data encryption, use the DataKey generated by GenerateDataKey to perform local data encryption and decryption operations

A maximum of 300 requests can be initiated per second for this API.

We recommend you to use API Explorer
Try it
API Explorer provides a range of capabilities, including online call, signature authentication, SDK code generation, and API quick search. It enables you to view the request, response, and auto-generated examples.

2. Input Parameters

The following request parameter list only provides API request parameters and some common parameters. For the complete common parameter list, see Common Request Parameters.

Parameter Name Required Type Description
Action Yes String Common Params. The value used for this API: Encrypt.
Version Yes String Common Params. The value used for this API: 2019-01-18.
Region No String Common Params. This parameter is not required for this API.
KeyId Yes String Globally unique ID of the CMK generated by calling the CreateKey API
Plaintext Yes String Encrypted plaintext data. This field must be Base64-encoded. The maximum size of the original data is 4 KB
EncryptionContext No String JSON string of key-value pair. If this parameter is specified, the same parameter needs to be provided when the Decrypt API is called. It is up to 1,024 characters

3. Output Parameters

Parameter Name Type Description
CiphertextBlob String Base64-encoded ciphertext, which is the encrypted information of the ciphertext and key. To get the plaintext, you need to pass in this field to the Decrypt API.
KeyId String Globally unique ID of the CMK used for encryption
RequestId String The unique request ID, which is returned for each request. RequestId is required for locating a problem.
