AWS Resources

This section describes prerequisites to manage AWS resources on the CCKM.

Prerequisites

• Before you can add an AWS account to the CCKM, an AWS connection must already exist on the CipherTrust Manager. A CipherTrust Manager administrator manages connections to external resources on the Access Management > Connections Management page of the CipherTrust Manager GUI. Refer to Connections Management for details.

• Appropriate permissions to manage the AWS KMS must be added on the AWS console.

  1. Permissions to list regions: Add the IAM permission ec2:DescribeRegions to list the AWS regions.
     For example:

     {
         "Version": "2012-10-17",
         "Statement": [
             {
                 "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
                 "Effect": "Allow",
                 "Action": "ec2:DescribeRegions",
                 "Resource": "*"
             }
         ]
     }
     

  2. Permissions to manage AWS resources: Add the following IAM permissions to manage AWS resources:

     • kms:ListAliases

     • kms:ListKeyPolicies

     • kms:ListKeys

     • kms:ListResourceTags

     • kms:DescribeKey

     • kms:GetKeyPolicy

     • kms:GetKeyRotationStatus

     • kms:GetParametersForImport

     • kms:GetPublicKey

     • kms:TagResource

     • kms:UntagResource

     • kms:CancelKeyDeletion

     • kms:CreateAlias

     • kms:CreateKey

     • kms:DeleteAlias

     • kms:DeleteImportedKeyMaterial

     • kms:DisableKey

     • kms:DisableKeyRotation

     • kms:EnableKey

     • kms:EnableKeyRotation

     • kms:ImportKeyMaterial

     • kms:ScheduleKeyDeletion

     • kms:UpdateAlias

     • kms:UpdateKeyDescription

     • kms:PutKeyPolicy

     • iam:ListGroups

     • iam:ListRoles

     • iam:ListUsers

     • logs:DescribeLogGroups

     • logs:FilterLogEvents

     For example:

     {
         "Version": "2012-10-17",
         "Statement": [
             {
                 "Effect": "Allow",
                 "Action": [
                     "kms:DisableKey",
                     "kms:ListAliases",
                     "kms:ListKeyPolicies",
                     "kms:ListKeys",
                     "kms:ListResourceTags",
                     "kms:DescribeKey",
                     "kms:GetKeyPolicy",
                     "kms:GetKeyRotationStatus",
                     "kms:GetParametersForImport",
                     "kms:GetPublicKey",
                     "kms:TagResource",
                     "kms:UntagResource",
                     "kms:CancelKeyDeletion",
                     "kms:CreateAlias",
                     "kms:CreateKey",
                     "kms:DeleteAlias",
                     "kms:DeleteImportedKeyMaterial",
                     "kms:DisableKey",
                     "kms:DisableKeyRotation",
                     "kms:EnableKey",
                     "kms:EnableKeyRotation",
                     "kms:ImportKeyMaterial",
                     "kms:ScheduleKeyDeletion",
                     "kms:UpdateAlias",
                     "kms:UpdateKeyDescription",
                     "kms:PutKeyPolicy",
                     "iam:ListGroups",
                     "iam:ListRoles",
                     "iam:ListUsers",
                     "logs:DescribeLogGroups",
                     "logs:FilterLogEvents"                            
                 ],
                 "Resource": "*"
             }
         ]
     }
     

Now, AWS accounts and AWS keys can be managed on the CipherTrust Manager.
