Description:
Ensure that all Keys in Non Role Based Access Control (RBAC) Azure Key Vaults have an expiration date set.
Rationale:
Azure Key Vault enables users to store and use cryptographic keys within the Microsoft Azure environment. The 'exp' (expiration date) attribute identifies the expiration date on or after which the key MUST NOT be used for a cryptographic operation. By default, keys never expire. It is thus recommended that keys be rotated in the key vault and set an explicit expiration date for all keys. This ensures that the keys cannot be used beyond their assigned lifetimes.
Keys cannot be used beyond their assigned expiration dates respectively. Keys need to be rotated periodically wherever they are used.
From Azure Portal:
From Azure CLI:
Update the 'Expiration date' for the key using the below command:
az keyvault key set-attributes --name --vault-name --expires Y-m-d'T'H:M:S'Z'
Note:
To view the expiration date on all keys in a Key Vault using Microsoft API, the "List" Key permission is required.
To update the expiration date for the keys:
From PowerShell
Set-AzKeyVaultKeyAttribute -VaultName -Name -Expires
