The Key Management API provides functionalities to manage encryption keys within the Security Center. This document outlines the key aspects of the API, including its purpose, endpoints, and usage.

Key Features

Key Generation: Generate new encryption keys securely.
Key Storage: Store and manage keys securely.
Key Rotation: Rotate keys to enhance security.
Key Access Control: Control access to keys based on user roles and permissions.

Endpoints

Generate Key: /api/keymanagement/generate
- Generates a new encryption key.
List Keys: /api/keymanagement/list
- Lists all stored encryption keys.
Rotate Key: /api/keymanagement/rotate
- Rotates an existing encryption key.
Delete Key: /api/keymanagement/delete
- Deletes an encryption key.

Usage

To use the Key Management API, you need to authenticate using an API key. You can obtain an API key from the API Key Management section.
