## Create Keys

### Create RSA Key

```java
import com.azure.security.keyvault.keys.models.*;

// Simple RSA key
KeyVaultKey rsaKey = keyClient.createRsaKey(new CreateRsaKeyOptions("my-rsa-key")
    .setKeySize(2048));

System.out.println("Key name: " + rsaKey.getName());
System.out.println("Key ID: " + rsaKey.getId());
System.out.println("Key type: " + rsaKey.getKeyType());

// RSA key with options
KeyVaultKey rsaKeyWithOptions = keyClient.createRsaKey(new CreateRsaKeyOptions("my-rsa-key-2")
    .setKeySize(4096)
    .setExpiresOn(OffsetDateTime.now().plusYears(1))
    .setNotBefore(OffsetDateTime.now())
    .setEnabled(true)
    .setKeyOperations(KeyOperation.ENCRYPT, KeyOperation.DECRYPT, 
                       KeyOperation.WRAP_KEY, KeyOperation.UNWRAP_KEY)
    .setTags(Map.of("environment", "production")));

// HSM-backed RSA key
KeyVaultKey hsmKey = keyClient.createRsaKey(new CreateRsaKeyOptions("my-hsm-key")
    .setKeySize(2048)
    .setHardwareProtected(true));
```

### Create EC Key

```java
// EC key with P-256 curve
KeyVaultKey ecKey = keyClient.createEcKey(new CreateEcKeyOptions("my-ec-key")
    .setCurveName(KeyCurveName.P_256));

// EC key with other curves
KeyVaultKey ecKey384 = keyClient.createEcKey(new CreateEcKeyOptions("my-ec-key-384")
    .setCurveName(KeyCurveName.P_384));

KeyVaultKey ecKey521 = keyClient.createEcKey(new CreateEcKeyOptions("my-ec-key-521")
    .setCurveName(KeyCurveName.P_521));

// HSM-backed EC key
KeyVaultKey ecHsmKey = keyClient.createEcKey(new CreateEcKeyOptions("my-ec-hsm-key")
    .setCurveName(KeyCurveName.P_256)
    .setHardwareProtected(true));
```

### Create Symmetric Key (Managed HSM only)

```java
KeyVaultKey octKey = keyClient.createOctKey(new CreateOctKeyOptions("my-symmetric-key")
    .setKeySize(256)
    .setHardwareProtected(true));
```

## Get Key

```java
// Get latest version
KeyVaultKey key = keyClient.getKey("my-key");

// Get specific version
KeyVaultKey keyVersion = keyClient.getKey("my-key", "<version-id>");

// Get only key properties (no key material)
KeyProperties keyProps = keyClient.getKey("my-key").getProperties();
```

## Update Key Properties

```java
KeyVaultKey key = keyClient.getKey("my-key");

// Update properties
key.getProperties()
    .setEnabled(false)
    .setExpiresOn(OffsetDateTime.now().plusMonths(6))
    .setTags(Map.of("status", "archived"));

KeyVaultKey updatedKey = keyClient.updateKeyProperties(key.getProperties(),
    KeyOperation.ENCRYPT, KeyOperation.DECRYPT);
```

## List Keys

```java
import com.azure.core.util.paging.PagedIterable;

// List all keys
for (KeyProperties keyProps : keyClient.listPropertiesOfKeys()) {
    System.out.println("Key: " + keyProps.getName());
    System.out.println("  Enabled: " + keyProps.isEnabled());
    System.out.println("  Created: " + keyProps.getCreatedOn());
}

// List key versions
for (KeyProperties version : keyClient.listPropertiesOfKeyVersions("my-key")) {
    System.out.println("Version: " + version.getVersion());
    System.out.println("Created: " + version.getCreatedOn());
}
```

## Delete Key

```java
import com.azure.core.util.polling.SyncPoller;

// Begin delete (soft-delete enabled vaults)
SyncPoller<DeletedKey, Void> deletePoller = keyClient.beginDeleteKey("my-key");

// Wait for deletion
DeletedKey deletedKey = deletePoller.poll().getValue();
System.out.println("Deleted: " + deletedKey.getDeletedOn());

deletePoller.waitForCompletion();

// Purge deleted key (permanent deletion)
keyClient.purgeDeletedKey("my-key");

// Recover deleted key
SyncPoller<KeyVaultKey, Void> recoverPoller = keyClient.beginRecoverDeletedKey("my-key");
recoverPoller.waitForCompletion();
```

## Cryptographic Operations

### Encrypt/Decrypt

```java
import com.azure.security.keyvault.keys.cryptography.models.*;

CryptographyClient cryptoClient = new CryptographyClientBuilder()
    .keyIdentifier("https://<vault>.vault.azure.net/keys/<key-name>")
    .credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build())
    .buildClient();

byte[] plaintext = "Hello, World!".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);

// Encrypt
EncryptResult encryptResult = cryptoClient.encrypt(EncryptionAlgorithm.RSA_OAEP, plaintext);
byte[] ciphertext = encryptResult.getCipherText();
System.out.println("Ciphertext length: " + ciphertext.length);

// Decrypt
DecryptResult decryptResult = cryptoClient.decrypt(EncryptionAlgorithm.RSA_OAEP, ciphertext);
String decrypted = new String(decryptResult.getPlainText(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
System.out.println("Decrypted: " + decrypted);
```

### Sign/Verify

```java
import java.security.MessageDigest;

// Create digest of data
byte[] data = "Data to sign".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
byte[] digest = md.digest(data);

// Sign
SignResult signResult = cryptoClient.sign(SignatureAlgorithm.RS256, digest);
byte[] signature = signResult.getSignature();

// Verify
VerifyResult verifyResult = cryptoClient.verify(SignatureAlgorithm.RS256, digest, signature);
System.out.println("Valid signature: " + verifyResult.isValid());
```

### Wrap/Unwrap Key

```java
// Key to wrap (e.g., AES key)
byte[] keyToWrap = new byte[32];  // 256-bit key
new SecureRandom().nextBytes(keyToWrap);

// Wrap
WrapResult wrapResult = cryptoClient.wrapKey(KeyWrapAlgorithm.RSA_OAEP, keyToWrap);
byte[] wrappedKey = wrapResult.getEncryptedKey();

// Unwrap
UnwrapResult unwrapResult = cryptoClient.unwrapKey(KeyWrapAlgorithm.RSA_OAEP, wrappedKey);
byte[] unwrappedKey = unwrapResult.getKey();
```

## Backup and Restore

```java
// Backup
byte[] backup = keyClient.backupKey("my-key");

// Save backup to file
Files.write(Paths.get("key-backup.blob"), backup);

// Restore
byte[] backupData = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("key-backup.blob"));
KeyVaultKey restoredKey = keyClient.restoreKeyBackup(backupData);
```

## Key Rotation

```java
// Rotate to new version
KeyVaultKey rotatedKey = keyClient.rotateKey("my-key");
System.out.println("New version: " + rotatedKey.getProperties().getVersion());

// Set rotation policy
KeyRotationPolicy policy = new KeyRotationPolicy()
    .setExpiresIn("P90D")  // Expire after 90 days
    .setLifetimeActions(Arrays.asList(
        new KeyRotationLifetimeAction(KeyRotationPolicyAction.ROTATE)
            .setTimeBeforeExpiry("P30D")));  // Rotate 30 days before expiry

keyClient.updateKeyRotationPolicy("my-key", policy);

// Get rotation policy
KeyRotationPolicy currentPolicy = keyClient.getKeyRotationPolicy("my-key");
```

## Import Key

```java
import com.azure.security.keyvault.keys.models.ImportKeyOptions;
import com.azure.security.keyvault.keys.models.JsonWebKey;

// Import existing key material
JsonWebKey jsonWebKey = new JsonWebKey()
    .setKeyType(KeyType.RSA)
    .setN(modulus)
    .setE(exponent)
    .setD(privateExponent)
    // ... other RSA components
    ;

ImportKeyOptions importOptions = new ImportKeyOptions("imported-key", jsonWebKey)
    .setHardwareProtected(false);

KeyVaultKey importedKey = keyClient.importKey(importOptions);
```

## Encryption Algorithms

| `A128CBC` | OCT | AES-CBC 128-bit |
| `A256CBC` | OCT | AES-CBC 256-bit |

## Signature Algorithms

| Algorithm | Key Type | Hash |
|-----------|----------|------|
| `RS256` | RSA | SHA-256 |
| `RS384` | RSA | SHA-384 |
| `RS512` | RSA | SHA-512 |

## Error Handling

```java
import com.azure.core.exception.HttpResponseException;
import com.azure.core.exception.ResourceNotFoundException;

try {
    KeyVaultKey key = keyClient.getKey("non-existent-key");
} catch (ResourceNotFoundException e) {
    System.out.println("Key not found: " + e.getMessage());
} catch (HttpResponseException e) {
    System.out.println("HTTP error " + e.getResponse().getStatusCode());
    System.out.println("Message: " + e.getMessage());
}
```

## Environment Variables

```bash
AZURE_KEYVAULT_URL=https://<vault-name>.vault.azure.net  # Required for vault URL
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod  # Required only if DefaultAzureCredential is used in production
```

## Best Practices

1. **Use HSM Keys for Production** - Set `setHardwareProtected(true)` for sensitive keys
2. **Enable Soft Delete** - Protects against accidental deletion
3. **Key Rotation** - Set up automatic rotation policies
4. **Least Privilege** - Use separate keys for different operations
5. **Local Crypto When Possible** - Use `CryptographyClient` with local key material to reduce round-trips
