Question

How can I use AWS KMS to encrypt data?

Answer 1

 You can use AWS KMS to encrypt and decrypt your data using a symmetric customer master key (CMK). Here's an example of encrypting a string using the AWS KMS Python SDK:

import boto3

# Create KMS client
kms = boto3.client('kms')

# Encrypt a string
response = kms.encrypt(
    KeyId='your_key_id',
    Plaintext=b'Hello, world!'
)

print("CipherTextBlob:", response['CiphertextBlob'])
