Best Practices for API Key Security Management
Security solutions for the openai-fm project:
- environmental isolation - Strictly differentiate between development/production environment keys, managed by .env.development and .env.production respectively.
- access control - Setting up IP whitelisting and usage alerts in the OpenAI backend
- key rotation - Automatic monthly key updates and service restarts via Terraform
Specific protective measures:
- Encrypting .env files with dotenv-vault
- Disable Client Key Exposure in NextJS Configuration
- Setting the nginx reverse proxy to add API rate limiting
Emergency Response Program:
- Monitor exception 403 errors in logs
- Prepare key deregistration manuals and alternate key pools
- Implementing JWT signature validation for database sharing links
