# aws_ec2_key_pair{% #aws_ec2_key_pair %}

## `account_id`{% #account_id %}

**Type**: `STRING` 

## `create_time`{% #create_time %}

**Type**: `TIMESTAMP` **Provider name**: `CreateTime` **Description**: If you used Amazon EC2 to create the key pair, this is the date and time when the key was created, in [ISO 8601 date-time format](https://www.iso.org/iso-8601-date-and-time-format.html), in the UTC time zone. If you imported an existing key pair to Amazon EC2, this is the date and time the key was imported, in [ISO 8601 date-time format](https://www.iso.org/iso-8601-date-and-time-format.html), in the UTC time zone. 

## `key_fingerprint`{% #key_fingerprint %}

**Type**: `STRING` **Provider name**: `KeyFingerprint` **Description**: If you used CreateKeyPair to create the key pair:

- For RSA key pairs, the key fingerprint is the SHA-1 digest of the DER encoded private key.
- For ED25519 key pairs, the key fingerprint is the base64-encoded SHA-256 digest, which is the default for OpenSSH, starting with [OpenSSH 6.8](http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.8).
If you used ImportKeyPair to provide Amazon Web Services the public key:
- For RSA key pairs, the key fingerprint is the MD5 public key fingerprint as specified in section 4 of RFC4716.
- For ED25519 key pairs, the key fingerprint is the base64-encoded SHA-256 digest, which is the default for OpenSSH, starting with [OpenSSH 6.8](http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.8).

## `key_pair_id`{% #key_pair_id %}

**Type**: `STRING` **Provider name**: `KeyPairId` **Description**: The ID of the key pair. 

## `key_type`{% #key_type %}

**Type**: `STRING` **Provider name**: `KeyType` **Description**: The type of key pair. 

## `public_key`{% #public_key %}
