Hi@akhtar,

The following get-public-key example downloads the public key of an asymmetric CMK. In addition to returning the public key, the output includes information that you need to use the public key safely outside of AWS KMS, including the key usage and supported encryption algorithms.

$ aws kms get-public-key --key-id ID
