Key Pair Environment

Follow the steps below to complete setting up a Key Pair Environment.

NOTE  As you proceed through these steps, note that some of the fields may not be editable, and some fields may not appear at all. This is based on the Environment Type you selected and the Environment Template settings that your Code Signing Administrator has established.

  1. Select a Signing Flow to use for this Environment. The Flow you select will be invoked when the keys associated with this Environment are used.

    This field is removed from GPG Environments designated as Issuer Environments since these Environments can't be used for signing.

  2. Select a Key Storage Location, which is where the private key will be stored. Selecting Software stores the key in the Trust Protection Platform Secret Store.

    Other options, such as HSMs, may be available based on key storage locations configured by your Code Signing Administrator.

  3. In Creation Type, choose whether you want to Create a new key or Import an existing key.

    NOTE  This field isn't available in Per-User Environments.

  4. For Key Usage, select whether this key will be used for signing or derivation.

  5. In the Validity Period field, enter the number of days the key should be valid for. Enter 0 for no expiration.

  6. If you selected Create new key in step 3 above, then select the Key Algorithm for the key that will be created.

  7. If you selected Import existing key in step 3 above, then select your key in the Key File field.

  8. Click Create Environment.

What's Next

If you need additional Environments as part of this Project, you can create those now. A Project can have as many Environments as needed, and the Environments can be any type.

If you're done creating Environments, you can submit your Project for approval.
