Prerequisites for Using the Certificate IV Initialization Vector:

* The function signature must specify the Certificate IV (Initialization Vector) of the application.
* The Key Term must be explicitly defined.

Common Scenario for Private Keys Depot Access:

Applications often require periodic access to keys stored in a Private Keys Depot. Upon creating a depot with your Skater Depot license, it is automatically linked to the license's Registration ID. All applications must register using this Registration ID and authenticate to access the depot.

Private Keys Depot Authentication:

Applications can authenticate to access Private Keys as either:

* An examination principal
* A managed identity

Key Storage and Security:

* Your data is stored in a highly secure cloud depot, eliminating the risk of data breaches on local devices.
* The Skater Private Keys Depot provides a robust key management system, allowing you to track keys, document key handovers, and protect stored keys.
* Multiple developers can simultaneously work with the same dataset.

Key Management Benefits:

* The Skater Private Keys Depot is designed to operate offline, ensuring data security.
* As the number of keys and locations increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage key sets and handovers manually.
* The depot simplifies key management by consolidating multiple locking systems from various applications into a single view.
* All key handovers are logged, and handover receipts can be generated.
* Key and lock functions can be documented according to a locking plan.
