I was following the AWS documentation example for envelope encryption in which there is a command for PowerShell. The command doesn't work on my PC so I need someone to help me figure out why. Below is the link to the documentation;
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/encryption-sdk/latest/developer-guide/crypto-cli-examples.html
Below is the error I get when I follow the instructions in the documentations;
PS C:> $CmkArn = arn:aws:kms:us-west-1:404148889442:key/c6b58e8e-f890-4d97-a417-f5bba5e6af89 arn:aws:kms:us-west-1:404148889442:key/c6b58e8e-f890-4d97-a417-f5bba5e6af89 : The term 'arn:aws:kms:us-west-1:404148889442:key/c6b58e8e-f890-4d97-a417-f5bba5e6af89' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:11
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The syntax in their example is wrong, this is how it should be written:
# To run this example, replace the fictitious key ARN with a valid value.
PS C:\> $CmkArn = "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab"
PS C:\> aws-encryption-cli --encrypt `
--input Hello.txt `
--master-keys key=$CmkArn `
--metadata-output $home\Metadata.txt `
--encryption-context purpose=test `
--output .
The fictitious ARN needs quotes around it.
