Disabling One or Multiple CMKs

Scenario

This section describes how to use the management console to disable one or multiple CMKs, thereby protecting data in urgent cases.

After being disabled, a CMK cannot be used to encrypt or decrypt any data. Before using a disabled CMK to encrypt or decrypt data, you must enable it by following instructions in Enabling One or Multiple CMKs.

Default Master Keys created by KMS cannot be disabled.

Prerequisites

  • You have obtained an account and its password for logging in to the management console.
  • The CMK you want to disable is in Enabled status.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region or project.
  3. Choose Security > Key Management Service. The Key Management Service page is displayed.
  4. In the row containing the desired CMK, click Disable.
