    1. API Description

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

    This API is used to encrypt using PQC. It supports up to 4 KB of data. It is applicable for encryption of database passwords, RSA keys, or other sensitive information. You can also apply DataKey generated by API GenerateDataKey to encrypt or decrypt your local data.

    A maximum of 20 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: PostQuantumCryptoEncrypt.
    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.

    3. Output Parameters

    Parameter Name Type Description
    CiphertextBlob String Base64-encoded ciphertext after encryption. This field contains the information of ciphertext and keys. It is not the result of encrypting the plaintext. To get the plaintext, you need to pass in this field to the PostQuantumCryptoDecrypt API.
    KeyId String Globally unique ID of the CMK used for encryption
    RequestId String The unique request ID, generated by the server, will be returned for every request (if the request fails to reach the server for other reasons, the request will not obtain a RequestId). RequestId is required for locating a problem.
