key-rotation▌

Implements secure API key generation, storage, rotation, and revocation controls to protect API authentication credentials from leakage, brute force, and abuse. The engineer designs API key formats with sufficient entropy, implements secure hashing for storage, enforces per-key scoping and rate limiting, monitors for leaked keys in public repositories, and builds key rotation workflows. Activates for requests involving API key management, API key security, key rotation policy, or API credential protection.
