AWS cli documentation change

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

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

Summary

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

Security assessment

The version update is routine maintenance. The added HMAC KCV computation documentation describes a security validation feature (key integrity checking) but doesn't indicate any vulnerability fix.
