IKeyManager interface

Key manager interface.

This defines an interface for a plugin that orchestrates various implementations of AbstractKeyManagementSystem.

See KeyManager for a reference implementation.

The methods of this plugin are used automatically by other plugins, such as DIDManager, CredentialPlugin, or DIDComm to perform their required cryptographic operations using the managed keys.

Signature:

export interface IKeyManager extends IPluginMethodMap

Extends: IPluginMethodMap

Methods

Method	Description
keyManagerCreate(args)	Creates and returns a new key
keyManagerDecryptJWE(args)	(BETA) Decrypts data This API may change without a BREAKING CHANGE notice.
keyManagerDelete(args)	Deletes a key
keyManagerEncryptJWE(args)	(BETA) Encrypts data This API may change without a BREAKING CHANGE notice.
keyManagerGet(args)	Returns an existing key
keyManagerGetKeyManagementSystems()	Lists available key management systems
keyManagerImport(args)	Imports a created key
keyManagerSharedSecret(args)	Compute a shared secret with the public key of another party. This computes the raw shared secret (the result of a Diffie-Hellman computation) To use this for symmetric encryption you MUST apply a KDF on the result.
keyManagerSign(args)	Generates a signature according to the algorithm specified.
keyManagerSignEthTX(args)	Signs Ethereum transaction
keyManagerSignJWT(args)	Signs JWT
