AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2026-06-07 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/payment-cryptography/get-key.md

Summary

Updated AWS CLI version reference from 2.34.61 to 2.34.63 and added documentation for HMAC key KCV computation method

Security assessment

Added specification for HMAC key verification (KCV computation) which improves documentation of cryptographic security controls. No evidence of vulnerability being fixed.
