Parameters

AsymmetricPair

The key to be generated is a full asymmetric (public + private) key pair (string). Only for generated keys.

AsymmetricPrivate

The key specified by the key field is the private part of an asymmetric key pair (string). Only for injected keys.

AsymmetricPublic

The key specified by the key field is the public part of an asymmetric key pair (string). Only for injected keys.

Symmetric

The key is symmetric, for example, an AES key (string).

Description

Use this field to specify the type of a cryptographic key:

  • In a keys : generated configuration object, it specifies the type of key to be generated by the Security Appliance.

  • In a keys : injected configuration object, it specifies the type of the key specified by the key field.

This field is mandatory in a configuration object where it can be used.
