Azure Key Vault Keys SDK for Rust

Client library for Azure Key Vault Keys — secure storage and management of cryptographic keys.

Installation

cargo add azure_security_keyvault_keys azure_identity

Environment Variables

AZURE_KEYVAULT_URL=https://<vault-name>.vault.azure.net/

Authentication

use azure_identity::DeveloperToolsCredential;
use azure_security_keyvault_keys::KeyClient;

let credential = DeveloperToolsCredential::new(None)?;
let client = KeyClient::new(
    "https://<vault-name>.vault.azure.net/",
    credential.clone(),
    None,
)?;

Key Types

Type	Description
RSA	RSA keys (2048, 3072, 4096 bits)
EC	Elliptic curve keys (P-256, P-384, P-521)
RSA-HSM	HSM-protected RSA keys
EC-HSM	HSM-protected EC keys

Core Operations

Get Key

let key = client
    .get_key("key-name", None)
    .await?
    .into_model()?;

println!("Key ID: {:?}", key.key.as_ref().map(|k| &k.kid));

Create Key

use azure_security_keyvault_keys::models::{CreateKeyParameters, KeyType};

let params = CreateKeyParameters {
    kty: KeyType::Rsa,
    key_size: (),
    ..::()
};

  = client
    .(, params.()?, )
    .?
    .()?;
