Azure Key Vault enables Microsoft Azure applications and users to store and use several types of secret/key data: keys, secrets, and certificates. All keys, secrets, and certificates are generically referred to as Objects.

## Object Identifiers
20-
Objects are uniquely identified within Key Vault using a case-insensitive identifier called the Object Identifier. No two objects in the system have the same identifier, regardless of geo-location. The identifier consists of a prefix that identifies the Key Vault, object type, user provided Object Name, and an Object Version. Identifiers that don't include the Object Version are referred to as Base Identifiers. Key Vault Object Identifiers are also valid URL but should always be compared as case-insensitive strings.
