Key management

Key management functions include:

List - lists the available keys
Load - loads a key specified by its alias
Generate - generate a key using the specified algorithm
Import - imports a key
Delete - deletes a specific key
Export - exports public and private key parts (if supported by the underlying keystore)

List keys

The /keys endpoint lists the key available to the Custodian

curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://custodian.ssikit.walt.id/keys' \
  -H 'accept: application/json'

No parameters

{
    "list":
    [
        {
            "algorithm": "string",
            "cryptoProvider": "string",
            "keyId":
            {
                "id": "string"
            },
            "keyPair": {},
            "keysetHandle": null
        }
    ]
