Does it provide help for disaster recovery?

Yes, the skill includes specific implementation details for backing up keys to secure bytes and restoring them to Key Vault instances.

Can I manage HSM-protected keys with this skill?

Yes, the skill includes support for RSA-HSM and EC-HSM key types, ensuring your high-security workloads are properly configured.

How does this skill handle authentication in Rust?

It utilizes the azure_identity crate, providing patterns for DeveloperToolsCredential during local development and ManagedIdentityCredential for secure production environments.

Which Rust crates are required to use these features?

You will primarily need azure_security_keyvault_keys for key operations and azure_identity for authentication.

Does it support signing and verification operations?

Absolutely. It provides code examples for performing signing and verification operations directly within Key Vault, so private keys never leave the secure boundary.

Cloud Infrastructure

Manages secure cryptographic keys and cryptographic operations in Rust applications using the Azure Key Vault SDK.

This skill provides specialized assistance for developers using the Azure Key Vault Keys SDK for Rust. It streamlines the implementation of secure key management workflows, covering everything from Entra ID authentication and key lifecycle management (CRUD) to advanced cryptographic operations like signing, verification, and encryption. Whether you are working with RSA or Elliptic Curve (EC) keys, or need to interface with Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), this skill offers the patterns and best practices required to build highly secure, cloud-native Rust services.
