IBM Cloud API Docs

Introduction

IBM Cloud Hyper Protect Crypto Services is a dedicated key management service and hardware security module (HSM). It is designed to enable you to take control of your cloud data encryption keys and cloud hardware security models, and is the only service in the industry built on FIPS 140-2 Level 4-certified hardware. Hyper Protect Crypto Services is integrated with the IBM® Key Protect for IBM Cloud® REST API, so that you can store, retrieve, and generate encryption keys.

For more information about using Hyper Protect Crypto Services, see the IBM Cloud docs.

Endpoint URLs

Use the Retrieve the API endpoint URL method first to retrieve the URL for the dedicated API endpoint for key management operations. When you call the API, use the URL that corresponds to the region where your service instance is deployed.

  • Dallas: https://us-south.broker.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com/crypto_v2/
  • Frankfurt: https://eu-de.broker.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com/crypto_v2/
  • London: https://eu-gb.broker.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com/crypto_v2/
  • Madrid: https://eu-es.broker.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com/crypto_v2/
  • São-Paulo: https://br-sao.broker.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com/crypto_v2/
  • Tokyo: https://jp-tok.broker.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com/crypto_v2/
  • Toronto: https://ca-tor.broker.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com/crypto_v2/
  • Washington DC:https://us-east.broker.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com/crypto_v2/

To call other API methods, use the endpoint URL that is returned in the kms section when you call the Retrieve the API endpoint URL method. The returned URL contains the region and port information. Note the URLs vary depending on whether you are using the public or private endpoint.

If you create your instances after April 12 2024 in certain regions, you might need to use the new API endpoints with the new format as <INSTANCE_ID>.api.<REGION>.hs-crypto.appdomain.cloud. The availability date varies by region. For more information about the supported regions, the availability dates, and the new endpoint URLs, see New endpoints.

  • "public": "api.<region>.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com:<port>"
  • "private": "api.private.<region>.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com:<port>"

You can also use the Global Search and Tagging (GhoST) API to retrieve your instance endpoint URL. Take the following request as an example:

curl -X POST
    'https://api.global-search-tagging.cloud.ibm.com/v3/resources/search?limit=50&account_id=<account_ID>'
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
    -d '{
        "query": "(type:resource-instance AND doc.sub_type:kms)"
    }'

Use the same token that you use to create you Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance and replace the account_ID with your IBM Cloud account ID. The following JSON output shows an example service instance. From the response, you can see the endpoint information.

{
    ...,
    "doc": {
        ...,
        "id": "crn:v1:public:hs-crypto:us-south:a/80e35ac1582a2b1a7b633e6107f9295a:67be47c6-cac0-415d-b298-0e6d45d6cb51::",
        "sub_type": "kms",
        "extensions": {
            ...,
            "endpoints": {
                "public": "<public endpoint for the instance>",
                "private": "<private endpoint for the instance>"
            }
        },
        ...
    },
    ...
}

Authentication

To call each method, you'll need to be assigned a role that includes the required IAM actions. Each method lists the associated action. For more information about IAM actions and how they map to roles, see Managing access for Hyper Protect Crypto Services.

To work with the API, authenticate your app or service by including your IBM Cloud IAM access token and instance ID in API requests.

You can build your API request by pairing a service endpoint with your authentication credentials:

curl -X GET \
    "https://api.<region>.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com:<port>/api/v2/keys" \
    -H "accept: application/vnd.ibm.collection+json" \
    -H "authorization: Bearer <access_token>" \
    -H "bluemix-instance: <instance_ID>"

Replace <region> with the prefix that represents the geographic area where your service instance resides. For more information, see Regions and locations.

Replace <port> with the port number of the API endpoint.

Replace <access_token> with your Cloud IAM token, and <instance_ID> with the IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

You can retrieve an access token by first creating an API key, and then exchanging your API key for a IBM Cloud IAM token. For more information, see Retrieving an access token programmatically.

To find out more about setting up the Hyper Protect Crypto Services key management service API, see Accessing the API.

IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the primary method to authenticate to the Hyper Protect Crypto Services API. The SDK provides client configuration initialization method in which you will need to replace Key management endpoint URL with a service endpoint, the API_KEY with the API key associated with your application, the TokenURL with your Cloud IAM token, and InstanceID with the IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance. The value kp.DefaultTokenURL for TokenURL defaults to IAM production URL. Use the client configuration options in the method to create a new Hyper Protect Crypto Services client. The method handles the authentication procedure with the provided API_KEY.

IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the primary method to authenticate to the Hyper Protect Crypto Services API. The SDK provides a client config setup in which you will need to export environment variables to match the IBMCLOUD_API_KEY term with the API key associated with your service credentials, the IAM_AUTH_URL term with the appropriate URL like 'https://iam.cloud.ibm.com/identity/token', the KP_SERVICE_URL term with the endpoint including the region and port, such as https://api.us-south.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com:9371, and the KP_INSTANCE_ID term with the instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services service instance.

Auditing

You can monitor API activity within your account by using the Activity Tracker service. Whenever an API method is called, an event is generated that you can then track and audit from within Activity Tracker. The specific event type is listed for each individual method.

For more information about how to track Hyper Protect Crypto Services activity, see Auditing Events for Hyper Protect Crypto Services.

Error handling

Hyper Protect Crypto Services uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate whether a method completed successfully. A 200 response always indicates success. A 400 type response is some sort of failure, and a 500 type response usually indicates an internal system error.

Table 1. Status code summary
Status code Description
200 OK Everything worked as expected.
201 OK Everything worked as expected; no content.
400 Bad Request The request was unsuccessful; ensure no required parameters are missing.
401 Unauthorized The parameters were valid but the request failed due insufficient permissions.
404 Not Found The requested resource doesn't exist.
410 Gone The requested resource was deleted and no longer exists.
429 Too Many Requests Too many requests hit the API too quickly.
500 Server Error Something went wrong on Hyper Protect Crypto Services's end.

Metadata

When you create or store keys in Hyper Protect Crypto Services, you can attach key-value data to your resources for easy identification of your keys.

The name, description, and tag parameters are useful for storing information on your resources. For example, you can store corresponding unique identifiers from your app or system on a Hyper Protect Crypto Services key.

To protect your privacy, do not store any personally identifiable information, such as your name or location, as metadata for your keys.

Pagination

Some API requests might return a large number of results. By specifying the limit and offset parameters at query time, you can retrieve a subset of your keys, starting with the offset value that you specify. For more information, see Retrieving a subset of keys.

There are optional operations that can effect pagination and the resulting list of keys returned by the service. Some operations may still be in development, and will be listed as "Beta" while that is the case.

Search

When used, this operation performs a search, possibly limiting the number of keys returned. If you want to narrow the number of results returned by a search, try using one or a combination of the following values as a prefix for the term you wish to have searched:

  • not: when specified, inverts the logic the search uses (for example, not:foo will search for keys that have aliases or names that do not contain foo).
  • escape: everything after this option is take as plaintext (example: escape:not: will search for keys that have an alias or name containing the substring not:).
  • exact: only looks for exact matches.
  • alias: only looks for key aliases.
  • name: only looks for key names.

The list of keys returned is sorted on id by default, if this parameter is not provided.

Sort

When used, this operation sorts the list of keys returned based on one or more key properties. The key properties that can be sorted at this time are:

  • id
  • state
  • extractable
  • imported
  • creationDate
  • lastUpdateDate
  • lastRotateDate
  • deletionDate
  • expirationDate

The list of keys returned is sorted on id by default, if this parameter is not provided.

Rate Limiting

Rate limits for API requests are enforced on a per-service-instance basis. If the number of requests for a particular method and endpoint reaches the request limit within the specified time window, no further requests are accepted until the timer expires. After the timer expires, a new time window begins with the next accepted request.

An HTTP status code of 429 indicates that the rate limit has been exceeded.

Change log

Important changes, such as additions, updates, and breaking changes, are marked with a change notice in this reference.

For a complete list of changes and improvements to this API, see the Hyper Protect Crypto Services key management service API change log.

Create a key

Creates a new key with specified key material. Hyper Protect Crypto Services designates the resource as either a root key or a standard key based on the extractable value that you specify. A successful POST /keys operation adds the key to the service and returns the details of the request in the response entity-body, if the Prefer header is set to return=representation.

POST /api/v2/keys

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.create

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.create

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • Alters server behavior for POST or DELETE operations. A header with return=minimal causes the service to return only the key identifier as metadata. A header containing return=representation returns both the key material and metadata in the response entity-body. If the key has been designated as a root key, the system cannot return the key material. Note: During POST operations, Hyper Protect Crypto Services may not immediately return the key material due to key generation time. To retrieve the key material, you can perform a subsequent GET /keys/{id} request.

    Allowable values: [return=representation,return=minimal]

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key belongs to. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

    Default: default

The base request for creating a new key.

Example:
CreateRootKey
  • curl -X POST   https://api.<region>.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com:<port>/api/v2/keys   -H 'authorization: Bearer <IAM_token>'   -H 'bluemix-instance: <instance_ID>'   -H 'content-type: application/vnd.ibm.kms.key+json'   -d '{

Response

Properties associated with a key response.

Status Code

  • The key was successfully created.

  • The key is missing a required field.

  • Your credentials are invalid or do not have the necessary permissions to make this request. Verify that the given IBM Cloud access token and instance ID are correct. If the error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions.

  • Your service is not authorized to make this request. Ensure that an authorization exists between your service and Hyper Protect Crypto Services. Learn more.

  • There are three possible causes for HTTP 404 while trying to create a key, specifying a reason code (resources[0].reasons[0].code) as follows:

    KEY_RING_NOT_FOUND_ERR: The key cannot be created because the key ring does not exist. Note the default key ring name is "default."

    INSTANCE_NOT_FOUND_ERR: The key cannot be created because the instance does not exist.

    IMPORT_TOKEN_NOT_FOUND_ERR: The key cannot be created because the import token does not exist.

  • The import token that was used to encrypt this key has reached its maxAllowedRetrievals or expirationDate, and it is no longer available for operations. To create a new import token, use POST /import_token.

    In very rare cases, the import token may expire before its expiration time. Ensure that your client application is configured with a retry mechanism for catching and responding to 409 conflict exceptions.

    KEY_ALIAS_QUOTA_ERR: The alias quota for this key has been reached.

    KEY_ALIAS_NOT_UNIQUE_ERR: One or more aliases are already associated with a key in the instance.

    KEY_CREATE_IMPORT_ACCESS_ERR: KeyCreateImportAccess instance policy is enabled. Hyper Protect Crypto Services only permits the creation or import of keys in your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance that follow the key creation and import settings listed on the keyCreateImportAccess policy.

    IMPORT_TOKEN_EXPIRED_ERR: The key cannot be created because the import token has expired.

  • Too many requests. Wait a few minutes and try again.

  • Hyper Protect Crypto Services is currently unavailable. Your request could not be processed. Try again later. If the problem persists, note the correlation-ID in the response header and contact IBM Cloud support.

List keys

Retrieves a list of keys that are stored in your service instance.

Note: GET /keys will not return the key material in the response body. You can retrieve the key material for a standard key with a subsequent GET /keys/{id} request.

GET /api/v2/keys

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.list

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.list

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the target key ring. If unspecified, all resources in the instance that the caller has access to will be returned. When the header is specified, only resources within the specified key ring, that the caller has access to, will be returned. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

Query Parameters

  • The number of keys to retrieve. By default, GET /keys returns the first 200 keys. To retrieve a different set of keys, use limit with offset to page through your available resources. The maximum value for limit is 5,000. Usage: If you have 20 keys in your instance, and you want to retrieve only the first 5 keys, use ../keys?limit=5.

    Possible values: 1 ≤ value ≤ 5000

    Default: 200

  • The number of keys to skip. By specifying offset, you retrieve a subset of keys that starts with the offset value. Use offset with limit to page through your available resources. Usage: If you have 100 keys in your instance, and you want to retrieve keys 26 through 50, use ../keys?offset=25&limit=25.

    Possible values: value ≥ 0

    Default: 0

  • The state of the keys to be retrieved. States must be a list of integers from 0 to 5 delimited by commas with no whitespace or trailing commas. Valid states are based on NIST SP 800-57. States are integers and correspond to the Pre-activation = 0, Active = 1, Suspended = 2, Deactivated = 3, and Destroyed = 5 values. Usage: If you want to retrieve active and deleted keys, use ../keys?state=1,5.

    Allowable values: [0,1,2,3,5]

    Default: [0,1,2,3]

  • The type of keys to be retrieved. Filters keys based on the extractable property. You can use this query parameter to search for keys whose material can leave the service. If set to true, standard keys will be retrieved. If set to false, root keys will be retrieved. If omitted, both root and standard keys will be retrieved. Usage: If you want to retrieve standard keys, use ../keys?extractable=true.

  • When provided, performs a search, possibly limiting the number of keys returned. Examples:

    • foobar - find keys where the name or any of its aliases contain foobar, case insentive (i.e. matches xfoobar, Foobar).
    • 7f194e42-4261-452d-82ee-21cd3d9ccaae (a valid key id) - find keys where the id the key is 7f194e42-4261-452d-82ee-21cd3d9ccaae, or the name or any of its aliases contain 7f194e42-4261-452d-82ee-21cd3d9ccaae, case insentive.

    May prepend with options:

    • not: = when specified, inverts matching logic (example: not:foo will search for keys that have aliases or names that do not contain foo)
    • escape: = everything after this option is take as plaintext (example: escape:not: will search for keys that have an alias or name containing the substring not:)
    • exact: = only looks for exact matches

    May prepend with search scopes:

    • alias: = search in key aliases for search query
    • name: = search in key names for search query

    Examples:

    • not:exact:foobar/exact:not:foobar - find keys where the name nor any of its aliases are not exactly foobar (i.e. matches xfoobar, bar, foo)
    • exact:escape:not:foobar - find keys where the name or any of its aliases are exactly not:foobar
    • not:alias:foobar/alias:not:foobar - find keys where any of its aliases do not contain foobar
    • name:exact:foobar/exact:name:foobar - find keys where the name is exactly foobar

    Note:

    By default, if no scopes are provided, search will be performed in both name and alias scopes.

    Search is only possible on a intial searchable space of at most 5000 keys. If the initial seachable space is greater than 5000 keys, the API returns HTTP 400 with the property resouces[0].reasons[0].code equals to 'KEY_SEARCH_TOO_BROAD'. Use the following filters to reduce the initial searchable space:

    • state (query parameter)
    • extractable (query parameter)
    • X-Kms-Key-Ring (HTTP header)

    If the total intial searchable space exceeds the 5000 keys limit and when providing a fully specified key id or when searching within the alias scope, a lookup will be performed and if a key is found, the key will be returned as the only resource and in the response metadata the property incompleteSearch will be true.

    When providing a fully specified key id or when searching within the alias scope, a key lookup is performed in addition to the search. This means search will try to lookup a single key that is uniquely identified by the key id or provided alias, this key will be included in the response as the first resource, before other matches.

    Search scopes are disjunctive, behaving in an OR manner. When using more than one search scope, a match in at least one of the scopes will result in the key being returned.

    Possible values: length ≤ 256

  • When provided, sorts the list of keys returned based on one or more key properties. To sort on a property in descending order, prefix the term with "-". To sort on multiple key properties, use a comma to separate each properties. The first property in the comma-separated list will be evaluated before the next. The key properties that can be sorted at this time are:

    • id
    • state
    • extractable
    • imported
    • creationDate
    • lastUpdateDate
    • lastRotateDate
    • deletionDate
    • expirationDate

    The list of keys returned is sorted on id by default, if this parameter is not provided.

    Possible values: length ≤ 256

    Default: id

  • When provided, returns the list of keys that match the queried properties. Each key property to be filtered on is specified as the property name itself, followed by an “=“ symbol, and then the value to filter on, followed by a space if there are more properties to filter only. Note: Anything between < and > in the examples or descriptions represent placeholder to specify the value Basic format: = = - The value to filter on may contain a value related to the property itself, or an operator followed by a value accepted by the operator - Only one operator and value, or one value is accepted per property at a time Format with operator/value pair: =: Up to three of the same property may be specified at a time. The key properties that can be filtered at this time are:

    • creationDate
      • Date in RFC 3339 format in double-quotes: “2022-01-01T12:00:00Z”
    • deletionDate
      • Date in RFC 3339 format in double-quotes: “2022-01-01T12:00:00Z”
    • expirationDate
      • Date in RFC 3339 format in double-quotes: “2022-01-01T12:00:00Z”
    • extractable
      • Boolean true or false without quotes, case-insensitive
    • lastRotateDate
      • Date in RFC 3339 format in double-quotes: “2022-01-01T12:00:00Z”
    • lastUpdateDate
      • Date in RFC 3339 format in double-quotes: “2022-01-01T12:00:00Z”
    • state
      • A list of comma-separated integers with no space in between: 0,1,2,3,5
    • hasMigrationIntent
      • Boolean true or false without quotes, case-insensitive

    Comparison operations (operators) that can be performed on date values are:

    • lte:<value> Less than or equal to - lt:<value> Less than - gte:<value> Greater than or equal to - gt:<value> Greater than A special keyword for date, none (case-insensitive), may be used to retreive keys that do not have that property. This is useful for lastRotateDate, where only keys that have never been rotated can be retreived. Examples:
    • lastRotateDate="2022-02-15T00:00:00Z" Filter keys that were last rotated on February 15, 2022 - lastRotateDate=gte:"2022-02-15T00:00:00Z" Filter keys that were last rotated after or on February 15, 2022 - lastRotateDate=gte:"2022-02-15T00:00:00Z" lastRotateDate=lt:"2022-03-15T00:00:00Z" Filter keys that were last rotated after or on February 15, 2022 but before (not including) March 15, 2022 - lastRotateDate="2022-02-15T00:00:00Z" state=0,1,2,3,5 extractable=false Filter root keys that were last rotated on February 15, 2022, with any state Note: When you filter by state or extractable in this query parameter, you will not be able to use the deprecated state or extractable independent query parameter. You will get a 400 response code if you specify a value for one of the two properties in both this filter query parameter and the deprecated independent query of the same name (the same applies vice versa).

Retrieve key total

Returns the same HTTP headers as a GET request without returning the entity-body. This operation returns the number of keys in your instance in a header called Key-Total.

HEAD /api/v2/keys

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.head

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.head

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the target key ring. If unspecified, all resources in the instance that the caller has access to will be returned. When the header is specified, only resources within the specified key ring, that the caller has access to, will be returned. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

Query Parameters

  • The state of the keys to be retrieved. States must be a list of integers from 0 to 5 delimited by commas with no whitespace or trailing commas. Valid states are based on NIST SP 800-57. States are integers and correspond to the Pre-activation = 0, Active = 1, Suspended = 2, Deactivated = 3, and Destroyed = 5 values. Usage: If you want to retrieve active and deleted keys, use ../keys?state=1,5.

    Allowable values: [0,1,2,3,5]

    Default: [0,1,2,3]

  • The type of keys to be retrieved. Filters keys based on the extractable property. You can use this query parameter to search for keys whose material can leave the service. If set to true, standard keys will be retrieved. If set to false, root keys will be retrieved. If omitted, both root and standard keys will be retrieved. Usage: If you want to retrieve standard keys, use ../keys?extractable=true.

  • When provided, returns the list of keys that match the queried properties. Each key property to be filtered on is specified as the property name itself, followed by an “=“ symbol, and then the value to filter on, followed by a space if there are more properties to filter only. Note: Anything between < and > in the examples or descriptions represent placeholder to specify the value Basic format: = = - The value to filter on may contain a value related to the property itself, or an operator followed by a value accepted by the operator - Only one operator and value, or one value is accepted per property at a time Format with operator/value pair: =: Up to three of the same property may be specified at a time. The key properties that can be filtered at this time are:

    • creationDate
      • Date in RFC 3339 format in double-quotes: “2022-01-01T12:00:00Z”
    • deletionDate
      • Date in RFC 3339 format in double-quotes: “2022-01-01T12:00:00Z”
    • expirationDate
      • Date in RFC 3339 format in double-quotes: “2022-01-01T12:00:00Z”
    • extractable
      • Boolean true or false without quotes, case-insensitive
    • lastRotateDate
      • Date in RFC 3339 format in double-quotes: “2022-01-01T12:00:00Z”
    • lastUpdateDate
      • Date in RFC 3339 format in double-quotes: “2022-01-01T12:00:00Z”
    • state
      • A list of comma-separated integers with no space in between: 0,1,2,3,5
    • hasMigrationIntent
      • Boolean true or false without quotes, case-insensitive

    Comparison operations (operators) that can be performed on date values are:

    • lte:<value> Less than or equal to - lt:<value> Less than - gte:<value> Greater than or equal to - gt:<value> Greater than A special keyword for date, none (case-insensitive), may be used to retreive keys that do not have that property. This is useful for lastRotateDate, where only keys that have never been rotated can be retreived. Examples:
    • lastRotateDate="2022-02-15T00:00:00Z" Filter keys that were last rotated on February 15, 2022 - lastRotateDate=gte:"2022-02-15T00:00:00Z" Filter keys that were last rotated after or on February 15, 2022 - lastRotateDate=gte:"2022-02-15T00:00:00Z" lastRotateDate=lt:"2022-03-15T00:00:00Z" Filter keys that were last rotated after or on February 15, 2022 but before (not including) March 15, 2022 - lastRotateDate="2022-02-15T00:00:00Z" state=0,1,2,3,5 extractable=false Filter root keys that were last rotated on February 15, 2022, with any state Note: When you filter by state or extractable in this query parameter, you will not be able to use the deprecated state or extractable independent query parameter. You will get a 400 response code if you specify a value for one of the two properties in both this filter query parameter and the deprecated independent query of the same name (the same applies vice versa).

Response

Response Headers

  • The number of keys in your service instance.

Status Code

  • The metadata was successfully retrieved.

  • Your credentials are invalid or do not have the necessary permissions to make this request. Verify that the given IBM Cloud access token and instance ID are correct. If the error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions.

  • Your service is not authorized to make this request. Ensure that an authorization exists between your service and Hyper Protect Crypto Services. Learn more.

  • Too many requests. Wait a few minutes and try again.

  • Hyper Protect Crypto Services is currently unavailable. Your request could not be processed. Try again later. If the problem persists, note the correlation-ID in the response header and contact IBM Cloud support.

Create a key with policy overrides

Creates a new key with specified key material and key policies. This API overrides the policy configurations set at instance level with policies provided in the payload. Hyper Protect Crypto Services designates the resource as a root key or a standard key based on the extractable value that you specify. A successful POST /keys_with_policy_overrides operation adds the key and key policies to the service and returns the details of the request in the response entity-body, if the Prefer header is set to return=representation.

POST /api/v2/keys_with_policy_overrides

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.secrets-with-policy-overrides.create

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.secrets-with-policy-overrides.create

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • Alters server behavior for POST or DELETE operations. A header with return=minimal causes the service to return only the key identifier as metadata. A header containing return=representation returns both the key material and metadata in the response entity-body. If the key has been designated as a root key, the system cannot return the key material. Note: During POST operations, Hyper Protect Crypto Services may not immediately return the key material due to key generation time. To retrieve the key material, you can perform a subsequent GET /keys/{id} request.

    Allowable values: [return=representation,return=minimal]

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key belongs to. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

    Default: default

The base request for creating a new key with policies.

Response

Properties associated with a key response.

Status Code

  • The key was successfully created.

  • The key is either missing a required field or it may contain an invalid or malformed input.

  • Your credentials are invalid or do not have the necessary permissions to make this request. Verify that the given IBM Cloud access token and instance ID are correct. If the error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions.

  • Your service is not authorized to make this request. Ensure that an authorization exists between your service and Hyper Protect Crypto Services. Learn more.

  • There are three possible causes for HTTP 404 while trying to create a key, specifying a reason code (resources[0].reasons[0].code) as follows:

    KEY_RING_NOT_FOUND_ERR: The key cannot be created because the key ring does not exist. Note the default key ring name is "default." INSTANCE_NOT_FOUND_ERR: The key cannot be created because the instance does not exist. IMPORT_TOKEN_NOT_FOUND_ERR: The key cannot be created because the import token does not exist.

  • The import token that was used to encrypt this key has reached its maxAllowedRetrievals or expirationDate, and it is no longer available for operations. To create a new import token, use POST /import_token. In very rare cases, the import token may expire before its expiration time. Ensure that your client application is configured with a retry mechanism for catching and responding to 409 conflict exceptions. KEY_ALIAS_QUOTA_ERR: The alias quota for this key has been reached. KEY_ALIAS_NOT_UNIQUE_ERR: One or more aliases are already associated with a key in the instance. KEY_CREATE_IMPORT_ACCESS_ERR: KeyCreateImportAccess instance policy is enabled. Hyper Protect Crypto Services only permits the creation or import of keys in your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance that follow the key creation and import settings listed on the keyCreateImportAccess policy. IMPORT_TOKEN_EXPIRED_ERR: The key cannot be created because the import token has expired.

  • Too many requests. Wait a few minutes and try again.

  • Hyper Protect Crypto Services is currently unavailable. Your request could not be processed. Try again later. If the problem persists, note the correlation-ID in the response header and contact IBM Cloud support.

Invoke an action on a key

Note: This API has been deprecated and transitioned to individual request paths. Existing actions using this API will continue to be supported, but new actions will no longer be added to it. We recommend, if possible, aligning your request URLs to the new API path. The generic format of actions is now the following: /api/v2/keys/<key_ID>/actions/<action> where key_ID is the key you want to operate on/with and action is the same action that was passed as a query parameter previously.

Invokes an action on a specified key. This method supports the following actions:

Note: If you unwrap a wrapped data encryption key (WDEK) that was not wrapped by the latest version of the key, the service also returns the a new WDEK, wrapped with the latest version of the key as the ciphertext field. The recommendation is to store and use that WDEK, although older WDEKs will continue to work.

POST /api/v2/keys/{id}

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following actions. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.wrap

  • hs-crypto.secrets.unwrap

  • hs-crypto.secrets.rotate

  • hs-crypto.secrets.rewrap

  • hs-crypto.secrets.setkeyfordeletion

  • hs-crypto.secrets.unsetkeyfordeletion

  • hs-crypto.secrets.disable

  • hs-crypto.secrets.enable

  • hs-crypto.secrets.restore

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing events.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.wrap

  • hs-crypto.secrets.unwrap

  • hs-crypto.secrets.rotate

  • hs-crypto.secrets.rewrap

  • hs-crypto.secrets.setkeyfordeletion

  • hs-crypto.secrets.unsetkeyfordeletion

  • hs-crypto.secrets.disable

  • hs-crypto.secrets.enable

  • hs-crypto.secrets.restore

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key is a part of. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

  • Alters server behavior for POST or DELETE operations. A header with return=minimal causes the service to return only the key identifier as metadata. A header containing return=representation returns both the key material and metadata in the response entity-body. If the key has been designated as a root key, the system cannot return the key material. Note: During POST operations, Hyper Protect Crypto Services may not immediately return the key material due to key generation time. To retrieve the key material, you can perform a subsequent GET /keys/{id} request.

    Allowable values: [return=representation,return=minimal]

Path Parameters

  • The v4 UUID that uniquely identifies the key.

Query Parameters

  • The action to perform on the specified key.

    Allowable values: [disable,enable,restore,rewrap,rotate,setKeyForDeletion,unsetKeyForDeletion,unwrap,wrap]

The base request for key actions.

Example:
WrapKey

Response

Properties that are associated with the response body of a wrap action.

Status Code

  • Successful key operation.

  • The imported key was successfully restored.

  • Successful key operation.

  • Your authentication data or key is invalid, or the entity-body is missing a required field.

  • Your credentials are invalid or do not have the necessary permissions to make this request. Verify that the given IBM Cloud access token and instance ID are correct. If the error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions.

  • Your service is not authorized to make this request. Ensure that an authorization exists between your service and Hyper Protect Crypto Services. Learn more.

  • The key could not be found.

  • The key is not in an appropriate state, so the KeyAction has failed.

  • The requested key was previously deleted and is no longer available. Delete references to this key.

  • The ciphertext provided for the unwrap operation was not wrapped by this key.

  • Too many requests. Wait a few minutes and try again.

  • Hyper Protect Crypto Services is currently unavailable. Your request could not be processed. Try again later. If the problem persists, note the correlation-ID in the response header and contact IBM Cloud support.

Delete a key

Deletes a key by specifying the ID or alias of the key.

By default, Hyper Protect Crypto Services requires a single authorization to delete keys. For added protection, you can enable a dual authorization policy to safely delete keys from your service instance.

Important: After a key has been deleted, any data that is encrypted by the key becomes inaccessible, though this can be reversed if the key is restored within the 30-day time frame. After 30 days, key metadata, registrations, and policies are available for up to 90 days, at which point the key becomes eligible to be purged. Note that once a key is no longer restorable and has been purged, its associated data can no longer be accessed.

Note: By default, Hyper Protect Crypto Services blocks the deletion of a key that's protecting a cloud resource, such as a Cloud Object Storage bucket. Use GET keys/{id}/registrations to verify if the key has an active registration to a resource. To delete the key and its associated registrations, set the optional force parameter to true.

DELETE /api/v2/keys/{id}

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.delete

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.delete

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key is a part of. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

To retrieve the key material, you can perform a subsequent GET /keys/{id} request.

    Allowable values: [return=representation,return=minimal]

Path Parameters

  • The v4 UUID that uniquely identifies the key.

Query Parameters

  • If set to true, Hyper Protect Crypto Services forces deletion on a key that is protecting a cloud resource, such as a Cloud Object Storage bucket. The action removes any registrations that are associated with the key. Note: If a key is protecting a cloud resource that has a retention policy, Hyper Protect Crypto Services cannot delete the key. Use GET keys/{id}/registrations to review registrations between the key and its associated cloud resources. To enable deletion, contact an account owner to remove the retention policy on each resource that is associated with this key.

Response

The base schema for deleting keys.

Status Code

  • The key was successfully deleted. The status code is the only response, unless the prefer parameter contains return=representation.

  • The key was successfully deleted. No content. The status code is the only response, unless the prefer parameter contains return=representation.

  • The key cannot be deleted due to a malformed, invalid, or missing ID.

  • Your credentials are invalid or do not have the necessary permissions to make this request. Verify that the given IBM Cloud access token and instance ID are correct. If the error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions.

  • Your service is not authorized to make this request. Ensure that an authorization exists between your service and Hyper Protect Crypto Services. Learn more.

  • The key could not be found.

  • There are three possible causes for HTTP 409 while trying to delete a key, specifying a reason code (resouces[0].reasons[0].code) as follows:

    AUTHORIZATIONS_NOT_MET: The key cannot be deleted because it failed the dual authorization request. Before you delete this key, make sure dual authorization procedures are followed. See the topic, Deleting keys using dual authorization.

    PROTECTED_RESOURCE_ERR: The key cannot be deleted because the key has one or more associated resources. See the topic, Considerations before deleting and purging a key.

    PREV_KEY_DEL_ERR: The key cannot be deleted because it's protecting a cloud resource that has a retention policy. Before you delete this key, contact an account owner to remove the retention policy on each resource that is associated with the key. See the topic, Considerations before deleting and purging a key.

  • The requested key was previously deleted and is no longer available. Delete references to this key.

  • Too many requests. Wait a few minutes and try again.

  • Hyper Protect Crypto Services is currently unavailable. Your request could not be processed. Try again later. If the problem persists, note the correlation-ID in the response header and contact IBM Cloud support.

Purge a deleted key

Purges all key metadata and registrations associated with the specified key. This method requires setting the KeyPurge permission that is not enabled by default. Purging a key can only be applied to a key in the Destroyed (5) state. After a key is deleted, there is a wait period of up to four hours before purge key operation is allowed. Important: When you purge a key, you permanently shred its contents and associated data. The action cannot be reversed.

DELETE /api/v2/keys/{id}/purge

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.purge

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.purge

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key is a part of. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

  • Alters server behavior for POST or DELETE operations. A header with return=minimal causes the service to return only the key identifier as metadata. A header containing return=representation returns both the key material and metadata in the response entity-body. If the key has been designated as a root key, the system cannot return the key material. Note: During POST operations, Hyper Protect Crypto Services may not immediately return the key material due to key generation time. To retrieve the key material, you can perform a subsequent GET /keys/{id} request.

    Allowable values: [return=representation,return=minimal]

Path Parameters

  • The v4 UUID or alias that uniquely identifies the key.

  • curl -X DELETE   https://api.<region>.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com:<port>/api/v2/keys/<key_ID_or_alias>/purge   -H 'accept: application/vnd.ibm.kms.key+json'   -H 'authorization: Bearer <IAM_token>'   -H 'bluemix-instance: <instance_ID>'

Response

The base schema for purged key.

Status Code

  • The key was successfully purged.

  • The key was successfully purged. No content.

  • The key cannot be purged due to a malformed ID.

  • Your credentials are invalid or do not have the necessary permissions to make this request. Verify that the given IBM Cloud access token and instance ID are correct. If the error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions.

  • Your service is not authorized to make this request. Ensure that an authorization exists between your service and Hyper Protect Crypto Services. Learn more.

  • The key could not be found.

  • There are two possible causes for HTTP 409 while trying to delete a key, specifying a reason code (resouces[0].reasons[0].code) as follows: REQ_TOO_EARLY_ERR: The key could not be purged due to wait period of four hours has not been reached. KEY_ACTION_INVALID_STATE_ERR: The key could not be purged because it is not in the Destroyed (5) state.

  • Too many requests. Wait a few minutes and try again.

  • Hyper Protect Crypto Services is currently unavailable. Your request could not be processed. Try again later. If the problem persists, note the correlation-ID in the response header and contact IBM Cloud support.

Restore a key

Restore a key that has been deleted.

POST /api/v2/keys/{id}/restore

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.restore

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.restore

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key is a part of. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

  • Alters server behavior for POST or DELETE operations. A header with return=minimal causes the service to return only the key identifier as metadata. A header containing return=representation returns both the key material and metadata in the response entity-body. If the key has been designated as a root key, the system cannot return the key material. Note: During POST operations, Hyper Protect Crypto Services may not immediately return the key material due to key generation time. To retrieve the key material, you can perform a subsequent GET /keys/{id} request.

    Allowable values: [return=representation,return=minimal]

Path Parameters

  • The v4 UUID or alias that uniquely identifies the key.

List key versions

Retrieves all versions of a root key by specifying the ID or alias of the key.

When you rotate a root key, you generate a new version of the key. If you're using the root key to protect resources across IBM Cloud, the registered cloud services that you associate with the key use the latest key version to wrap your data. Learn more.

GET /api/v2/keys/{id}/versions

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.listkeyversions

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.secrets-key-versions.list

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key is a part of. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

Path Parameters

  • The v4 UUID or alias that uniquely identifies the key.

Query Parameters

  • The number of key versions to retrieve. By default, GET /versions returns the first 200 key versions. To retrieve a different set of key versions, use limit with offset to page through your available resources. The maximum value for limit is 5,000. Usage: If you have a key with 20 versions in your instance, and you want to retrieve only the first 5 versions, use ../versions?limit=5.

    Possible values: 1 ≤ value ≤ 5000

    Default: 200

  • The number of key versions to skip. By specifying offset, you retrieve a subset of key versions that starts with the offset value. Use offset with limit to page through your available resources. Usage: If you have a key with 100 versions in your instance, and you want to retrieve versions 26 through 50, use ../versions?offset=25&limit=25.

    Possible values: value ≥ 0

    Default: 0

  • If set to true, returns totalCount in the response metadata for use with pagination. The totalCount value returned specifies the total number of key versions that match the request, disregarding limit and offset. The default is set to false. Usage: To return the totalCount value for use with pagination, use ../versions?totalCount=true.

  • If set to true, returns the key versions of a key in any state. Usage: If you have deleted a key and still want to retrieve its key versions use ../versions?allKeyStates=true.

    Default: false

Unwrap a key

Use a root key to unwrap or decrypt a data encryption key.

Note: When you unwrap a wrapped data encryption key (WDEK) by using a rotated root key, the service returns a new ciphertext in the response entity-body. Each ciphertext remains available for unwrap actions. If you unwrap a DEK with a previous ciphertext, the service also returns the latest ciphertext and latest key version in the response. Use the latest ciphertext for future unwrap operations.

POST /api/v2/keys/{id}/actions/unwrap

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.unwrap

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.unwrap

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key is a part of. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

Path Parameters

  • The v4 UUID or alias that uniquely identifies the key.

The base request for unwrap key action.

Examples:
View
  • curl -X POST   https://api.<region>.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com:<port>/api/v2/keys/<key_ID_or_alias>/actions/unwrap   -H 'accept: application/json'   -H 'authorization: Bearer <IAM_token>'   -H 'bluemix-instance: <instance_ID>'   -H 'content-type: application/vnd.ibm.kms.key_action_unwrap+json'   -d '{

Response

Properties that are associated with the response body of an unwrap action.

Status Code

  • Successfully unwrapped key.

  • The request is malformed or illegal.

  • Your credentials are invalid or do not have the necessary permissions to make this request. Verify that the given IBM Cloud access token and instance ID are correct. If the error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions.

  • The key could not be found.

  • The key is not in the Active (1) or Deactivated (3) state.

  • The requested key was previously deleted and is no longer available. The key may be restored within thirty (30) days of deletion using POST /keys/{id}/restore.

  • The ciphertext provided was not wrapped by this key.

  • Too many requests. Wait a few minutes and try again.

  • Hyper Protect Crypto Services is currently unavailable. Your request could not be processed. Try again later. If the problem persists, note the correlation-ID in the response header and contact IBM Cloud support.

Rotate a key

Create a new version of a root key.

POST /api/v2/keys/{id}/actions/rotate

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.rotate

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.rotate

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key is a part of. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

  • Alters server behavior for POST or DELETE operations. A header with return=minimal causes the service to return only the key identifier as metadata. A header containing return=representation returns both the key material and metadata in the response entity-body. If the key has been designated as a root key, the system cannot return the key material. Note: During POST operations, Hyper Protect Crypto Services may not immediately return the key material due to key generation time. To retrieve the key material, you can perform a subsequent GET /keys/{id} request.

    Allowable values: [return=representation,return=minimal]

Path Parameters

  • The v4 UUID or alias that uniquely identifies the key.

The base request for rotate key action.

Example:

Response

Status Code

  • The key was successfully rotated. No content.

  • The request is malformed or illegal.

  • Your credentials are invalid or do not have the necessary permissions to make this request. Verify that the given IBM Cloud access token and instance ID are correct. If the error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions.

  • There are three possible causes for HTTP 404 while trying to rotate a key, specifying a reason code (resouces[0].reasons[0].code) as follows: KEY_NOT_FOUND_ERR: The key could not be found. INSTANCE_NOT_FOUND_ERR: Key could not be rotated, specified instance does not exist. IMPORT_TOKEN_NOT_FOUND_ERR: Key could not be rotated, import_token does not exist.

  • There are four possible causes for HTTP 409 while trying to rotate a key, specifying a reason code (resouces[0].reasons[0].code) as follows: KEY_ACTION_INVALID_STATE_ERR: The requested key is not in the Active (1) or Deactivated (3) state. KEY_ROTATION_NOT_PERMITTED: Key could not be rotated, this key has been rotated within the last hour, only one rotate action per hour is permitted. KEY_CREATE_IMPORT_ACCESS_ERR: Instance policy does not allow this action. IMPORT_TOKEN_EXPIRED_ERR: Key could not be rotated, the import token has expired.

  • The requested key was previously deleted and is no longer available. The key may be restored within thirty (30) days of deletion using POST /keys/{id}/restore.

  • Too many requests. Wait a few minutes and try again.

  • Hyper Protect Crypto Services is currently unavailable. Your request could not be processed. Try again later. If the problem persists, note the correlation-ID in the response header and contact IBM Cloud support.

POST /api/v2/keys/{id}/actions/enable

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.enable

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.enable

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key is a part of. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

Path Parameters

  • The v4 UUID or alias that uniquely identifies the key.

  • curl -X POST   https://api.<region>.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com:<port>/api/v2/keys/<key_ID_or_alias>/actions/enable   -H 'accept: application/json'   -H 'authorization: Bearer <IAM_token>'   -H 'bluemix-instance: <instance_ID>'

Response

Status Code

  • The key was successfully enabled. No content.

  • The request is malformed or illegal.

  • Your credentials are invalid or do not have the necessary permissions to make this request. Verify that the given IBM Cloud access token and instance ID are correct. If the error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions.

  • The key could not be found.

  • There are two possible causes for HTTP 409 while trying to enable a key, specifying a reason code (resouces[0].reasons[0].code) as follows: KEY_ACTION_INVALID_STATE_ERR: The requested key is not in the Suspended (2) state or the state of the key has changed within the last 30 seconds. REQ_TOO_EARLY_ERR: Key could not be enabled, as the key was updated recently. After key is disabled, the event must fully propagate before enabling key operations. Wait and try again.

  • The requested key was previously deleted and is no longer available. The key may be restored within thirty (30) days of deletion using POST /keys/{id}/restore.

  • Too many requests. Wait a few minutes and try again.

  • Hyper Protect Crypto Services is currently unavailable. Your request could not be processed. Try again later. If the problem persists, note the correlation-ID in the response header and contact IBM Cloud support.

Sync associated resources

Initiate a manual data synchronization request to the associated resources of a key. Regular key lifecycle events automatically notify integrated services of any change. However, in the case a service does not respond to a key lifecycle event notification after four hours, the sync API may be used to initiate a renotification to the integrated services that manage the associated resources linked to the key.

Note: The services that manage the associated resources linked to the key are responsible for maintaining current records of the key state and version. Hyper Protect Crypto Services does not have the ability to force data synchronization for other services, which may take up to four hours to complete. The sync API is meant to initiate a request for all associated resources to synchronize their key records with the information returned from the Hyper Protect Crypto Services KMS API.

POST /api/v2/keys/{id}/actions/sync

List key policies

Retrieves a list of policies that are associated with a specified key.

You can set policies for a key, such as an automatic rotation policy or a dual authorization policy to protect against the accidental deletion of keys. Use GET /keys/{id}/policies to browse the policies that exist for a specified key.

GET /api/v2/keys/{id}/policies

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.policies.read

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.policies.read

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key is a part of. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

Path Parameters

  • The v4 UUID or alias that uniquely identifies the key.

Query Parameters

  • The type of policy that is associated with the specified key.

Create an import token

Creates an import token that you can use to encrypt and import root keys into the service. Learn more.

When you call POST /import_token, Hyper Protect Crypto Services creates an RSA key-pair from its HSMs. The service encrypts and stores the private key in the HSM, and returns the corresponding public key when you call GET /import_token. You can create only one import token per service instance.

POST /api/v2/import_token

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.importtoken.create

Response

The base schema for retrieving an import token.

Status Code

  • The import token was successfully retrieved.

  • Your credentials are invalid or do not have the necessary permissions to make this request. Verify that the given IBM Cloud access token and instance ID are correct. If the error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions.

  • Your service is not authorized to make this request. Ensure that an authorization exists between your service and Hyper Protect Crypto Services. Learn more.

  • There are two possible causes for HTTP 404 while trying to retrieve an import token, specifying a reason code (resouces[0].reasons[0].code) as follows: IMPORT_TOKEN_NOT_FOUND_ERR: An import token was not found in the specified service instance. To create an import token, use POST /import_token. INSTANCE_NOT_FOUND_ERR: Import token could not be retrieved, instance does not exist.

  • The import token has reached its maxAllowedRetrievals or expirationDate, and it is no longer available for use. To create a new import token, use POST /import_token.

    In very rare cases, the import token may expire before its expiration time. Ensure that your client application is configured with a retry mechanism for catching and responding to 409 conflict exceptions.

  • Too many requests. Wait a few minutes and try again.

  • Hyper Protect Crypto Services is currently unavailable. Your request could not be processed. Try again later. If the problem persists, note the correlation-ID in the response header and contact IBM Cloud support.

Create a registration

Service to service calls only. Creates a registration between a root key and a cloud resource, such as a Cloud Object Storage bucket. The key is identified by its ID, and the cloud resource is identified by its Cloud Resource Name (CRN).

POST /api/v2/keys/{id}/registrations/{urlEncodedResourceCRN}

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.registrations.create

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.registrations.create

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key is a part of. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

Path Parameters

  • The v4 UUID or alias that uniquely identifies the key.

  • The URL encoded Cloud Resource Name (CRN) that uniquely identifies the cloud resource. At minimum, provide a CRN that includes the service-instance segment.

    Example: crn%3av1%3abluemix%3apublic%3acloud-object-storage%3aglobal%3aa%2f59bcbfa6ea2f006b4ed7094c1a08dcdd%3a1a0ec336-f391-4091-a6fb-5e084a4c56f4%3a%3abucket

          }
        ]
      }'

Response

Properties associated with a registration response.

Status Code

  • A registration with identical properties (keyId, resourceCrn, preventKeyDeletion, description, and registrationMetadata) was previously created between the specified key and cloud resource.

  • A new registration was successfully created.

  • The registration could not be created due to a malformed urlEncodedResourceCRN, an invalid or missing request body, or an invalid key ID.

  • Your credentials are invalid or do not have the necessary permissions to make this request. Verify that the given IBM Cloud access token and instance ID are correct. If the error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions.

  • You are not authorized to make this request due to missing authorization between the service instance and Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance, requiring a service-to-service call, or a mismatch between the cloud service CRN and the resource CRN.

  • The key with specified ID could not be found.

  • A registration with different properties already exists between the specified key and cloud resource.

  • The key with specified ID is invalid for use with registrations.

    A key must be a root key (non-extractable) in the Activated (1) state.

  • Too many requests. Wait a few minutes and try again.

  • Hyper Protect Crypto Services is currently unavailable. Your request could not be processed. Try again later. If the problem persists, note the correlation-ID in the response header and contact IBM Cloud support.

Update a registration

Service to service calls only. Updates an existing registration based on the properties that you specify.

When you call PATCH /registrations, Hyper Protect Crypto Services updates only the properties that you specify in the request entity-body. To replace the registration, use PUT /registrations. The preventKeyDeletion policy should only be set if a WORM policy must be satisfied (as would be needed for this example: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-scale/5.0.1?topic=ics-how-write-once-read-many-worm-storage-works). Do not set this policy by default.

PATCH /api/v2/keys/{id}/registrations/{urlEncodedResourceCRN}

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.registrations.merge

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.registrations.merge

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key is a part of. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

  • ETag is a hash value generated based on attributes representing a specific state/version of a Hyper Protect Crypto Services registration. It is only generated when a single registration is returned from a service to service call. This value can be passed in an If-Match header of a PUT/PATCH request to determine if there are any version conflicts during the process of updating registrations, preventing the problem of losing updated registration data. The If-Match header does a weak comparison between registration versions and is capable of handling multiple comma separated ETags.

    Example: W/"c8f7e349e5a1f8d7255de81f2508e5914667fg5e4aeb88945002286f753064b7"

Path Parameters

  • The v4 UUID or alias that uniquely identifies the key.

  • The URL encoded Cloud Resource Name (CRN) that uniquely identifies the cloud resource. At minimum, provide a CRN that includes the service-instance segment.

    Example: crn%3av1%3abluemix%3apublic%3acloud-object-storage%3aglobal%3aa%2f59bcbfa6ea2f006b4ed7094c1a08dcdd%3a1a0ec336-f391-4091-a6fb-5e084a4c56f4%3a%3abucket

          }
        ]
      }'

Response

Properties associated with a registration response.

Status Code

  • The registration was successfully updated.

  • The registration could not be updated due to a malformed urlEncodedResourceCRN, an invalid or missing request body, or an invalid key ID.

  • Your credentials are invalid or do not have the necessary permissions to make this request. Verify that the given IBM Cloud access token and instance ID are correct. If the error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions.

  • You are not authorized to make this request due to missing authorization between the service instance and Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance, requiring a service-to-service call, or a mismatch between the cloud service CRN and the resource CRN.

  • The registration or key could not be found. Verify that the specified key ID and CRN are valid.

  • Provided ETag does not match generated ETag.

  • Too many requests. Wait a few minutes and try again.

  • Hyper Protect Crypto Services is currently unavailable. Your request could not be processed. Try again later. If the problem persists, note the correlation-ID in the response header and contact IBM Cloud support.

Delete a registration

Service to service calls only. Deletes an existing registration between a root key and a cloud resource.

This action permanently removes the registration from the database.

DELETE /api/v2/keys/{id}/registrations/{urlEncodedResourceCRN}

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.registrations.delete

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.registrations.delete

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key is a part of. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

  • Alters server behavior for POST or DELETE operations. A header with return=minimal causes the service to return only the key identifier as metadata. A header containing return=representation returns both the key material and metadata in the response entity-body. If the key has been designated as a root key, the system cannot return the key material. Note: During POST operations, Hyper Protect Crypto Services may not immediately return the key material due to key generation time. To retrieve the key material, you can perform a subsequent GET /keys/{id} request.

    Allowable values: [return=representation,return=minimal]

Path Parameters

  • The v4 UUID or alias that uniquely identifies the key.

List registrations for a key

Retrieves a list of registrations that are associated with a specified root key.

When you use a root key to protect an IBM Cloud resource, such as a Cloud Object Storage bucket, Hyper Protect Crypto Services creates a registration between the resource and root key. You can use GET /keys/{id}/registrations to understand which cloud resources are protected by the key that you specify.

GET /api/v2/keys/{id}/registrations

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.registrations.list

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.registrations.list

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key is a part of. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

Path Parameters

  • The v4 UUID that uniquely identifies the key.

Query Parameters

  • The number of registrations to retrieve. By default returns the first 200 registrations. To retrieve a different set of registrations, use limit with offset to page through your available resources. The maximum value for limit is 5,000. Usage: If you have 20 registrations that are associated with a key, and you want to retrieve only the first 5 registrations, use ../registrations?limit=5.

    Possible values: 1 ≤ value ≤ 5000

    Default: 200

  • The number of registrations to skip. By specifying offset, you retrieve a subset of registrations that starts with the offset value. Use offset with limit to page through your available resources. Usage: If you have 100 registrations that are associated with a key, and you want to retrieve registrations 26 through 50, use ../registrations?offset=25&limit=25.

    Possible values: value ≥ 0

    Default: 0

  • Filters for resources that are associated with a specified Cloud Resource Name (CRN) by using URL encoded wildcard characters (*). The parameter should contain all CRN segments and must be URL encoded. Supports a prefix search when you specify * on the last CRN segment. Usage: To list registrations that are associated with all resources in <service-instance>, use a URL encoded version of the following string: crn:v1:bluemix:public:<service-name>:<location>:a/<account>:<service-instance>:*:*. To search for subresources, use the following CRN format: crn:v1:bluemix:public:<service-name>:<location>:a/<account>:<service-instance>:<resource-type>:<resource>/<subresource>. For more examples, see CRN query examples.

    Example: crn%3Av1%3Abluemix%3Apublic%3Adatabases-for-postgresql%3Aus-south%3Aa%2F274074dce64e9c423ffc238516c755e1%3A29caf0e7-120f-4da8-9551-3abf57ebcfc7%3A*%3A*

  • Filters registrations based on the preventKeyDeletion property. You can use this query parameter to search for registered cloud resources that are non-erasable due to a retention policy. This policy should only be set if a WORM policy (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-scale/5.0.1?topic=ics-how-write-once-read-many-worm-storage-works) must be satisfied. Do not set this policy by default. Usage: To search for registered cloud resources that have a retention policy, use ../registrations?preventKeyDeletion=true.

  • If set to true, returns totalCount in the response metadata for use with pagination. The totalCount value returned specifies the total number of registrations that match the request, disregarding limit and offset. Usage: To return the totalCount value for use with pagination, use ../registrations?totalCount=true.

  • curl -X GET   https://api.<region>.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com:<port>/api/v2/keys/<key_ID_or_alias>/registrations   -H 'authorization: Bearer <IAM_token>'   -H 'bluemix-instance: <instance_ID>'

Status Code

  • The list of registrations was successfully retrieved.

  • The list of registrations could not be retrieved due to a malformed urlEncodedResourceCRN, an invalid or missing request body, or an invalid key ID.

  • Your credentials are invalid or do not have the necessary permissions to make this request. Verify that the given IBM Cloud access token and instance ID are correct. If the error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions.

  • You are not authorized to make this request due to missing authorization between the service instance and Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance, requiring a service-to-service call, or a mismatch between the cloud service CRN and the resource CRN.

  • The key with specified ID could not be found.

  • Too many requests. Wait a few minutes and try again.

  • Hyper Protect Crypto Services is currently unavailable. Your request could not be processed. Try again later. If the problem persists, note the correlation-ID in the response header and contact IBM Cloud support.

Acknowledge key events

Service to service calls only. Acknowledges a key lifecycle event.

When a customer performs an action on a root key, Hyper Protect Crypto Services uses Hyperwarp to notify the cloud services that are registered with the key. To acknowledge the Hyperwarp event, registered services must call POST /api/v2/event_ack.

POST /api/v2/event_ack

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.secrets.eventack

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.secrets-event.ack

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key belongs to. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

    Default: default

The base request for acknowledging a key action events.

  • hs-crypto.secrets-alias.create

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

  • The ID of the key ring that the specified key is a part of. When the header is not specified, Hyper Protect Crypto Services will perform a key ring lookup. For a more optimized request, specify the key ring on every call. The key ring ID of keys that are created without an X-Kms-Key-Ring header is: default.

Path Parameters

  • The v4 UUID or alias that uniquely identifies the key.

  • A human-readable alias that uniquely identifies a key. Each alias is unique only within the given instance and is not reserved across Hyper Protect Crypto Services. Each key can have up to five aliases. There is no limit to the number of aliases per instance. The length of the alias can be between 2 - 90 characters, inclusive. An alias must be alphanumeric and cannot contain spaces or special characters other than '-' or '_'. Also, the alias cannot be a version 4 UUID and must not be an Hyper Protect Crypto Services reserved name: allowed_ip, key, keys, metadata, policy, policies, registration, registrations, ring, rings, rotate, wrap, unwrap, rewrap, version, versions.

Response

Properties associated with a specific key alias.

Status Code

  • An identical alias was previously created for the specified key.

  • A new alias was successfully created.

  • The alias could not be created due to a malformed alias or an invalid key ID.

  • Your credentials are invalid or do not have the necessary permissions to make this request. Verify that the given IBM Cloud access token and instance ID are correct. If the error persists, contact the account owner to check your permissions.

  • There are two possible causes for HTTP 404 while trying to create an alias, specifying a reason code (resouces[0].reasons[0].code) as follows: KEY_NOT_FOUND_ERR: The key with specified ID could not be found. INSTANCE_NOT_FOUND_ERR: Key alias could not be created, instance does not exist.

  • There are three possible causes for HTTP 409 while trying to create an alias, specifying a reason code (resouces[0].reasons[0].code) as follows:

    KEY_ALIAS_QUOTA_ERR: The alias quota for this key or instance has been reached and alias can not be created.

    KEY_RING_RESOURCE_QUOTA_ERR: Key alias could not be created, the resource quota for key rings in this instance has been reached and alais can not be created.

    KEY_ALIAS_NOT_UNIQUE_ERR: The alias is already associated with a key in the specified instance.

  • Too many requests. Wait a few minutes and try again.

  • Hyper Protect Crypto Services is currently unavailable. Your request could not be processed. Try again later. If the problem persists, note the correlation-ID in the response header and contact IBM Cloud support.

List key rings

List all key rings in the instance.

GET /api/v2/key_rings

Authorization

To call this method, you must be assigned one or more IAM access roles that include the following action. You can check your access by going to Users > User > Access.

  • hs-crypto.keyrings.list

Auditing

Calling this method generates the following auditing event.

  • hs-crypto.key-rings.list

Request

Custom Headers

  • The IBM Cloud instance ID that identifies your Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance.

  • The v4 UUID used to correlate and track transactions.

Query Parameters

  • The number of key rings to retrieve. By default, GET /key_rings returns 100 key rings including the default key ring. To retrieve a different set of key rings, use limit with offset to page through your available resources. The maximum value for limit is 5,000. Usage: If you have 20 key rings in your instance, and you want to retrieve only the first 5 key rings, use ../key_rings?limit=5.

    Possible values: value ≥ 0

    Default: 100

  • The number of key rings to skip. By specifying offset, you retrieve a subset of key rings that starts with the offset value. Use offset with limit to page through your available resources. Usage: If you have 20 key rings in your instance, and you want to retrieve keys 10 through 20, use ../keys?offset=10&limit=10.

    Possible values: value ≥ 0

    Default: 0

  • If set to true, returns totalCount in the response metadata for use with pagination. The totalCount value returned specifies the total number of key rings that match the request, disregarding limit and offset. The default is set to false. Usage: To return the totalCount value for use with pagination, use ../key_rings?totalCount=true.
