Precautions in API Key Management

The encryption and decryption function of Key Management Service is available through Rest API. In the case of programming-based access, you do not access Key Management Service directly, but through the API Gateway. The API Gateway uses the API Access key to verify the user's credentials and the application's credentials.

For API credentials, the sub account's access key, secret key, and API key are used. The access key and secret key of the sub account can be checked on the sub account details screen of the Sub Account, and the API key of the API can be created or checked in the API Keys of the API Gateway.

Anyone with information used in API credentials can access them with the same permissions as the owner of the corresponding key in Key Management Service. Therefore, users with Key Management Service permissions must make efforts to comply with the cloud responsibility sharing model when using Key Management Service resources.

Precautions when using API credentials are as follows:

• API credentials (the access key and secret key of the sub account) should not be included directly in the code.
• Different credentials must be used for each service or application.
• API credentials must be updated periodically.
• You must periodically check the key usage history of Key Management Service to check for unauthorized API calls.
• Unused API credentials must be discarded immediately.

Download Java SDK

Key Management Service's Rest API provides Java SDK (Maven project). Use the SDK to easily call the Key Management Service API through the API Gateway. To download the Key Management Service Java Client SDK file, check the information and click Download.
