    Encrypt up to 32 KB of data with the current version of the key. It can only be requested as an AES256 or RSA2048 key type.

    Request

    This section describes the request format. The method and URI are as follows:

    MethodURI
    POST
    • API Gateway request signature v1: /keys/v1/{keyTag}/encrypt
    • API Gateway request signature v2: /keys/v2/{keyTag}/encrypt

    Request headers

    For information about the headers common to all Key Management Service APIs, see Key Management Service request headers.

    Request path parameters

    You can use the following path parameters with your request:

    FieldTypeRequiredDescription
    keyTagStringRequiredKey tag
    • Unique identifier for the key derived from the key name
    • Check through Get key list
    • Use to request encryption or decryption with REST APIs
    • Key tags are not treated as confidential information

    Request body

    You can include the following data in the body of your request:

    FieldTypeRequiredDescription
    plaintextString or Array<String>RequiredBase64-encoded string data
    • Up to 32 KB of data can be encrypted
    contextStringConditionalBase64-encoded string data
    • Required when using keys with convergent encryption
    • Can be up to 50 bytes long
    • Always generate the same ciphertext, even when encrypting the same data multiple times

    Request example

    The request example is as follows:

    • Request API Gateway request signature v1 and plaintext as String type
    curl --location --request POST 'https://kms.apigw.ntruss.com/keys/v1/a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6q7r8s9t0u1v2w3x4y5z6/encrypt' \
    --header 'x-ncp-apigw-timestamp: {Timestamp}' \
    --header 'x-ncp-apigw-api-key: {API Gateway API Key}' \
    --header 'x-ncp-iam-access-key: {Sub Account Access Key}' \
    --header 'x-ncp-apigw-signature-v1: {API Gateway Signature}' \
    --data '{
      "plaintext": "{BASE64_PLAINTEXT}",
      "context": "{BASE64_CONTEXT}"
    }'
    
    • Request API Gateway request signature v and plaintext as Array<String> type
    curl --location --request POST 'https://kms.apigw.ntruss.com/keys/v2/a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6q7r8s9t0u1v2w3x4y5z6/encrypt' \
    --header 'x-ncp-apigw-timestamp: {Timestamp}' \
    --header 'x-ncp-iam-access-key: {Sub Account Access Key}' \
    --header 'x-ncp-apigw-signature-v2: {API Gateway Signature}' \
    --data '{
      "plaintext": ["{BASE64_PLAINTEXT_1}", "{BASE64_PLAINTEXT_2}", "{BASE64_PLAINTEXT_3}"],
      "context": "{BASE64_CONTEXT}"
    }'
    

    Response

    This section describes the response format.

    Response body

    The response body includes the following data:

    FieldTypeRequiredDescription
