Security Protection Program
For API key management, Any-LLM provides the following multi-layered protection:
- environment variable isolation: Mandatory use
os.environStore the key (e.g.export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY='key'), ensure that the key does not enter the code version control system - Temporary key injection: For ad hoc test scenarios, use the
python-dotenvThe library loads the .env file and the key exists in memory only at runtime - access control: Create independent API keys for different developers, and set call frequency and permission restrictions through the platform backend.
- key rotation mechanism: automatic update of the key in the environment variable at regular intervals (monthly is recommended), the old key is immediately revoked in the provider console
Key Notes:
1. absolutely avoid hard-coding keys in persistence environments such as Jupyter notebook
2. Utilizationpre-commitHook scanning code to prevent mis-submission of keys
3. Dynamic key injection using Secret Manager service for containerized deployments
When implemented, the security program completely eliminates the risk of financial loss and model misuse due to key compromise.
