Key Types


| Type | Description |

|------|-------------|

| `RSA` | RSA key (2048, 3072, 4096 bits) |

| `RSA_HSM` | RSA key in HSM |

| `EC` | Elliptic Curve key |

| `EC_HSM` | Elliptic Curve key in HSM |

| `OCT` | Symmetric key (Managed HSM only) |

| `OCT_HSM` | Symmetric key in HSM |


Create Keys


Create RSA Key


java 
import com.azure.security.keyvault.keys.models.*;

// Simple RSA key
KeyVaultKey rsaKey = keyClient.createRsaKey(new CreateRsaKeyOptions("my-rsa-key")
    .setKeySize(2048));

System.out.println("Key name: " + rsaKey.getName());
System.out.println("Key ID: " + rsaKey.getId());
System.out.println("Key type: " + rsaKey.getKeyType());

// RSA key with options
KeyVaultKey rsaKeyWithOptions = keyClient.createRsaKey(new CreateRsaKeyOptions("my-rsa-key-2")
    .setKeySize(4096)
    .setExpiresOn(OffsetDateTime.now().plusYears(1))
    .setNotBefore(OffsetDateTime.now())
    .setEnabled(true)
    .setKeyOperations(KeyOperation.ENCRYPT, KeyOperation.DECRYPT, 
                       KeyOperation.WRAP_KEY, KeyOperation.UNWRAP_KEY)
    .setTags(Map.of("environment", "production")));

// HSM-backed RSA key
KeyVaultKey hsmKey = keyClient.createRsaKey(new CreateRsaKeyOptions("my-hsm-key")
    .setKeySize(2048)
    .setHardwareProtected(true));

Create EC Key


java 
// EC key with P-256 curve
KeyVaultKey ecKey = keyClient.createEcKey(new CreateEcKeyOptions("my-ec-key")
    .setCurveName(KeyCurveName.P_256));

// EC key with other curves
KeyVaultKey ecKey384 = keyClient.createEcKey(new CreateEcKeyOptions("my-ec-key-384")
    .setCurveName(KeyCurveName.P_384));

KeyVaultKey ecKey521 = keyClient.createEcKey(new CreateEcKeyOptions("my-ec-key-521")
    .setCurveName(KeyCurveName.P_521));

// HSM-backed EC key
KeyVaultKey ecHsmKey = keyClient.createEcKey(new CreateEcKeyOptions("my-ec-hsm-key")
    .setCurveName(KeyCurveName.P_256)
    .setHardwareProtected(true));

Create Symmetric Key (Managed HSM only)


java 
KeyVaultKey octKey = keyClient.createOctKey(new CreateOctKeyOptions("my-symmetric-key")
    .setKeySize(256)
    .setHardwareProtected(true));

Get Key


java 
// Get latest version
KeyVaultKey key = keyClient.getKey("my-key");

// Get specific version
KeyVaultKey keyVersion = keyClient.getKey("my-key", "<version-id>");

// Get only key properties (no key material)
KeyProperties keyProps = keyClient.getKey("my-key").getProperties();

Update Key Properties


java 
KeyVaultKey key = keyClient.getKey("my-key");

// Update properties
key.getProperties()
    .setEnabled(false)
    .setExpiresOn(OffsetDateTime.now().plusMonths(6))
    .setTag

Can I customize this skill for my team?

Absolutely. Edit the SKILL.md file to add team-specific instructions, examples, or workflows.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

Only scanning surface-level issues

Deep security review requires understanding your app architecture, not just regex patterns.

Skipping validation

Always test AI-generated code changes, even for simple refactors.

Missing dependency updates

Check if the skill requires updated dependencies or new packages.
