• KeyDataAlgorithms
• KeyDataARN
• KeyDataForSigning
• KeyDataKeySpec
• KeyDataPublicKey

This method will fail if any of the following are true regarding the specified CMK:

• Its KeyState is anything other than aksEnabled (0).
• It is symmetric (see KeyKeySpec).
• It is an AWS-managed CMK (see KeyAWSManaged).
