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: Some(2048),
..Default::default()
};
let key = client
.create_key("key-name", params.try_into()?, None)
.await?
.into_model()?;
Create EC Key
use azure_security_keyvault_keys::models::{CreateKeyParameters, KeyType, CurveName};
let params = CreateKeyParameters {
kty: KeyType::Ec,
curve: Some(CurveName::P256),
..Default::default()
};
let key = client
.create_key("ec-key", params.try_into()?, None)
.await?
.into_model()?;
Delete Key
client.delete_key("key-name", None).await?;
List Keys
use azure_security_keyvault_keys::ResourceExt;
use futures::TryStreamExt;
let mut pager = client.list_key_properties(None)?.into_stream();
while let Some(key) = pager.try_next().await? {
let name = key.resource_id()?.name;
println!("Key: {}", name);
}
Backup Key
let backup = client.backup_key("key-name", None).await?;
// Store backup.value safely
Restore Key
use azure_security_keyvault_keys::models::RestoreKeyParameters;
let params = RestoreKeyParameters {
key_bundle_backup: backup_bytes,
};
client.restore_key(params.try_into()?, None).await?;
Cryptographic Operations
Key Vault can perform crypto operations without exposing the private key:
// For cryptographic operations, use the key's operations
// Available operations depend on key type and permissions:
// - encrypt/decrypt (RSA)
// - sign/verify (RSA, EC)
// - wrapKey/unwrapKey (RSA)
Best Practices
- Use Entra ID auth —
DeveloperToolsCredentialfor dev,ManagedIdentityCredentialfor production - Use HSM keys for sensitive workloads — hardware-protected keys
- Use EC for signing — more efficient than RSA
- Use RSA for encryption — when encrypting data
- Backup keys — for disaster recovery
- Enable soft delete — required for production vaults
- Use key rotation — create new versions periodically
RBAC Permissions
Assign these Key Vault roles:
Key Vault Crypto User— use keys for crypto operationsKey Vault Crypto Officer— full CRUD on keys

fastapi-mastery
Comprehensive FastAPI development skill covering REST API creation, routing, request/response handling, validation, authentication, database integration, middleware, and deployment. Use when working with FastAPI projects, building APIs, implementing CRUD operations, setting up authentication/authorization, integrating databases (SQL/NoSQL), adding middleware, handling WebSockets, or deploying FastAPI applications. Triggered by requests involving .py files with FastAPI code, API endpoint creation, Pydantic models, or FastAPI-specific features.
context7-efficient
Token-efficient library documentation fetcher using Context7 MCP with 86.8% token savings through intelligent shell pipeline filtering. Fetches code examples, API references, and best practices for JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, and other libraries. Use when users ask about library documentation, need code examples, want API usage patterns, are learning a new framework, need syntax reference, or troubleshooting with library-specific information. Triggers include questions like "Show me React hooks", "How do I use Prisma", "What's the Next.js routing syntax", or any request for library/framework documentation.
browser-use
Browser automation using Playwright MCP. Navigate websites, fill forms, click elements, take screenshots, and extract data. Use when tasks require web browsing, form submission, web scraping, UI testing, or any browser interaction.
