Signature Keys
Oracle Cloud Object Storage is used primarily by cloud customers to store any files that are needed by the system. Certain processes in the system may need to write files to or read files from cloud object storage. Cloud object storage has its own method for encrypting files and products using the framework application do not need to define additional configuration for that. However, when communicating with cloud object storage, the application is required to provide a signature key.
Refer to External File Storage for more information about configuring the system to connect to cloud object storage.
The product provides a Signature Key Ring business object that supports the following functions:
• Generating a key pair, for key rotation
• Viewing the public key, allowing a user to copy it to register it with cloud object storage.
• Activating the new key pair (to be done after registering the new public key)
