I am trying to decrypt some text encrypted with AWS KMS using aws-sdk and NodeJs. I started to play today with NodeJs so I am a newbie with it. I have this problem resolved with Java but I am trying to migrate an existing Alexa skill from Java to NodeJs.
The code to decrypt is:
function decrypt(buffer) {
const kms = new aws.KMS({
accessKeyId: 'accessKeyId',
secretAccessKey: 'secretAccessKey',
region: 'eu-west-1'
});
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
let params = {
"CiphertextBlob" : buffer,
};
kms.decrypt(params, (err, data) => {
if (err) {
reject(err);
} else {
resolve(data.Plaintext);
}
});
});
};
When I run this code with a correct CiphertextBlob, I get this error:
Promise {
<rejected> { MissingRequiredParameter: Missing required key 'CiphertextBlob' in params

I don't understand why I am receiving that if CiphertextBlob
is in the params variable.
Anyone knows? Thanks in advance!
EDIT 01/07
Test to code the feature: First function:
const CheckExpirationDateHandler = {
canHandle(handlerInput) {
return handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request.type === 'IntentRequest'
&& handlerInput.requestEnvelope.request.intent.name === 'TtpConsultaIntent';
},
handle(handlerInput) {
var fecha = "";
var speech = "";
userData = handlerInput.attributesManager.getSessionAttributes();
if (Object.keys(userData).length === 0) {
speech = consts.No_Card_Registered;
} else {
console.log("Retrieving expiration date from 3rd API");
fecha = crtm.expirationDate(cipher.decrypt(userData.code.toString()));
speech = "Tu abono caducará el " + fecha;
}
return handlerInput.responseBuilder
.speak(speech)
.shouldEndSession(true)
.getResponse();
}
}
Decrypt function provided with a log:
// source is plaintext
async function decrypt(source) {
console.log("Decrypt func INPUT: " + source)
const params = {
CiphertextBlob: Buffer.from(source, 'base64'),
};
const { Plaintext } = await kms.decrypt(params).promise();
return Plaintext.toString();
};
Output:

That either means you're missing key 'CiphertextBlob' or its value is undefined.
Please checkout the value you're passing in as buffer
.
For reference, I also added my working code example that I used.
import { KMS } from 'aws-sdk';
import config from '../config';
const kms = new KMS({
accessKeyId: config.aws.accessKeyId,
secretAccessKey: config.aws.secretAccessKey,
region: config.aws.region,
});
// source is plaintext
async function encrypt(source) {
const params = {
KeyId: config.aws.kmsKeyId,
Plaintext: source,
};
const { CiphertextBlob } = await kms.encrypt(params).promise();
// store encrypted data as base64 encoded string
return CiphertextBlob.toString('base64');
}
// source is plaintext
async function decrypt(source) {
const params = {
CiphertextBlob: Buffer.from(source, 'base64'),
};
const { Plaintext } = await kms.decrypt(params).promise();
return Plaintext.toString();
}
export default {
encrypt,
decrypt,
};
----- ADDED -----
I was able to reproduce your issue.
decrypt("this text has never been encrypted before!");
This code throws same error.
So if you pass plain text that has never been encrypted before or has been encrypted with different key, it throws InvalidCiphertextException: null
.
Now I'll give you one usage example.
encrypt("hello world!") // this will return base64 encoded string
.then(decrypt) // this one accepts encrypted string
.then(decoded => console.log(decoded)); // hello world!
