SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Azure Key Vault Keys Java SDK enables Java developers to securely manage cryptographic keys and perform operations such as encryption, signing, and key rotation within Azure Key Vault and managed HSM.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create, retrieve, update, rotate, and delete keys in Azure Key Vault from Java applications.
  • Perform cryptographic operations (encrypt, decrypt, sign, verify, wrap, unwrap) using CryptographyClient for client-side or server-side crypto.
  • Manage key rotation policies and lifecycle for RSA/EC/HSM-backed keys in production environments.

Quick Start

Install the Azure Key Vault Keys Java SDK and initialize KeyClient and CryptographyClient to begin managing keys.
