Creates a digital signature for a message or message digest by using the private key in an asymmetric signing KMS key. To verify the signature, use the verify
operation, or use the public key in the same asymmetric KMS key outside of KMS. For information about asymmetric KMS keys, see Asymmetric KMS keys in the Key Management Service Developer Guide.
See https://www.paws-r-sdk.com/docs/kms_sign/ for full documentation.

)
[required] Identifies an asymmetric KMS key. KMS uses the private key in the
asymmetric KMS key to sign the message. The KeyUsage
type of the KMS
key must be SIGN_VERIFY
. To find the KeyUsage
of a KMS key, use the
describe_key
operation.
To specify a KMS key, use its key ID, key ARN, alias name, or alias ARN.
When using an alias name, prefix it with "alias/"
. To specify a KMS
key in a different Amazon Web Services account, you must use the key ARN
or alias ARN.
For example:
Key ID: 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab
Key ARN:
arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab
Alias name: alias/ExampleAlias
Alias ARN: arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:111122223333:alias/ExampleAlias
To get the key ID and key ARN for a KMS key, use
list_keys
or describe_key
. To
get the alias name and alias ARN, use
list_aliases
.
[required] Specifies the message or message digest to sign. Messages can be 0-4096 bytes. To sign a larger message, provide a message digest.
If you provide a message digest, use the DIGEST
value of MessageType
to prevent the digest from being hashed again while signing.
Tells KMS whether the value of the Message
parameter should be hashed
as part of the signing algorithm. Use RAW
for unhashed messages; use
DIGEST
for message digests, which are already hashed.
When the value of MessageType
is RAW
, KMS uses the standard signing
algorithm, which begins with a hash function. When the value is
DIGEST
, KMS skips the hashing step in the signing algorithm.
Use the DIGEST
value only when the value of the Message
parameter is
a message digest. If you use the DIGEST
value with an unhashed
message, the security of the signing operation can be compromised.
When the value of MessageType
is DIGEST
, the length of the Message
value must match the length of hashed messages for the specified signing
algorithm.
You can submit a message digest and omit the MessageType
or specify
RAW
so the digest is hashed again while signing. However, this can
cause verification failures when verifying with a system that assumes a
single hash.
The hashing algorithm in that sign
uses is based on the
SigningAlgorithm
value.
Signing algorithms that end in SHA_256 use the SHA_256 hashing algorithm.
Signing algorithms that end in SHA_384 use the SHA_384 hashing algorithm.
Signing algorithms that end in SHA_512 use the SHA_512 hashing algorithm.
SM2DSA uses the SM3 hashing algorithm. For details, see Offline verification with SM2 key pairs.
A list of grant tokens.
Use a grant token when your permission to call this operation comes from a new grant that has not yet achieved eventual consistency. For more information, see Grant token and Using a grant token in the Key Management Service Developer Guide.
[required] Specifies the signing algorithm to use when signing the message.
Choose an algorithm that is compatible with the type and size of the specified asymmetric KMS key. When signing with RSA key pairs, RSASSA-PSS algorithms are preferred. We include RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 algorithms for compatibility with existing applications.
Checks if your request will succeed. DryRun
is an optional parameter.
