# Get the IDaaS public encryption key

> Returns the IDaaS EC P-256 public key in two formats:
- **`jwk`** – JSON Web Key (JWK) format; import directly into any JOSE library.
- **`publicKeyBase64`** – Base64-encoded X.509 (SubjectPublicKeyInfo) DER; use with
  `KeyFactory.getInstance("EC").generatePublic(new X509EncodedKeySpec(decoded))` in Java.

Use this key to **encrypt request payloads** before sending them to IDaaS:
```
1. Serialize your JSON request body.
2. Encrypt with JWE (alg=ECDH-ES+A256KW, enc=A256GCM) using this public key.
3. Set header: Content-Encryption: JWE
4. Send the JWE compact string as the request body.
```

This endpoint is **unauthenticated** – public keys are safe to distribute.
Cache the response; refresh only if you encounter a JWE decryption error (HTTP 400).

  title: IDaaS – Identity as a Service API
  description: >
    ## Overview

    IDaaS provides globally unique, portable identity **tags** that travel with
    users across applications.  Each tag is a short handle (e.g. `@alice`) that
    can carry verified claims, participate in cross-application payments, and be
    federated to external identity providers.


    ## Key Capabilities

    - **Tags** – create, transfer, disable, and attach claims to identity
    handles.

    - **Cross-application payments** – send money from any tag on Application
    A   to any tag on Application B; each application has a single escrow
    wallet   tracked for end-of-day settlement.

    - **Ledger** – every completed payment produces an immutable double-entry  
    `DEBIT` / `CREDIT` pair recorded against application wallets.

    - **Webhooks** – real-time callbacks with HMAC-SHA256 signatures and  
    automatic retry (up to 3 attempts with exponential back-off).

    - **Settlement** – a scheduled end-of-day job aggregates daily wallet  
    movements and emits `SETTLEMENT_BATCH` Kafka events.


    ## Authentication

    1. Register an application: `POST /v1/applications`

    2. Exchange credentials for a JWT: `POST /v1/auth/token`

    3. Include the JWT as `Authorization: Bearer <token>` on all protected
    calls.


    ## Rate Limits

    | Endpoint | Limit |

    |---|---|

    | `POST /v1/auth/token` | 10 req / min per IP |

    | `POST /v1/transactions` | 60 req / min per application |

    | All other | 300 req / min per IP |

      JWE payload encryption – end-to-end security for API request bodies and
      webhook payloads.

      Each application receives an EC P-256 keypair at registration:

      - IDaaS encrypts **outbound webhooks** with the application's public key.

      - Applications encrypt **inbound request bodies** with the IDaaS public
      key.

      Algorithm: ECDH-ES+A256KW + A256GCM (JSON Web Encryption, RFC 7516).

      Use `GET /v1/keys/idaas` to fetch the IDaaS public key.

      Use `POST /v1/applications/keys/rotate` to rotate your application
      keypair.
