The ID of the encryption key. You can view the ID of an encryption key in the AWS KMS console, or use the AWS KMS APIs to programmatically retrieve a key ID. For more information about acceptable values for kmsKeyID, see [KeyId](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/APIReference/API_Decrypt.html#KMS-Decrypt-request-KeyId) in the Decrypt API description in the * AWS Key Management Service API Reference*.  
If no key is specified, the default `aws/codecommit` AWS managed key is used.

 ** [repositoryDescription](#API_CreateRepository_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="CodeCommit-CreateRepository-request-repositoryDescription"></a>
A comment or description about the new repository.  
The description field for a repository accepts all HTML characters and all valid Unicode characters. Applications that do not HTML-encode the description and display it in a webpage can expose users to potentially malicious code. Make sure that you HTML-encode the description field in any application that uses this API to display the repository description on a webpage.
