## 🚀 Next Steps

### 1. **Use the Production Keys**

Deploy `.env.production` to your production server with:

- API keys configured
- Other secrets filled in (OpenRouter key, GitHub token, JWT secret)
- CORS_ORIGIN set to your domain

### 2. **Generate More Keys as Needed**

```bash
# Generate additional production keys
node utils/generateApiKey.js prod 1

# Generate staging keys
node utils/generateApiKey.js staging 2

# Generate dev keys
node utils/generateApiKey.js dev 1
```

### 3. **Distribute Keys Securely**

For each client/team member, provide:

- One unique key
- Documentation: [API_KEY_QUICK_REFERENCE.md](./API_KEY_QUICK_REFERENCE.md)
- Frontend guide: [FRONTEND_INTEGRATION.md](./FRONTEND_INTEGRATION.md)

**Example email:**

```
Your API Key: sk-prod-3c96ecbbe2b83a2130d69d25579b5361ca7ead272c478f61

Usage:
curl -H "X-API-Key: sk-prod-3c96ecbbe2b83a2130d69d25579b5361ca7ead272c478f61" \
  https://api.yourdomain.com/api/enrichment

Never share this key or commit it to version control!
```

### 4. **Setup Key Rotation (Every 90 days)**

```bash
# 1. Generate new keys
node utils/generateApiKey.js prod 3

# 2. Add to .env.production alongside old keys
API_KEYS=sk-prod-old-key1,sk-prod-new-key1,sk-prod-new-key2,sk-prod-new-key3

# 3. Deploy and notify clients (30-day grace period)

# 4. After 30 days, remove old keys
API_KEYS=sk-prod-new-key1,sk-prod-new-key2,sk-prod-new-key3
```

## 🔒 Security Checklist

- [ ] `.env.production` is in `.gitignore` (never commit!)
- [ ] Use strong, random keys (already generated securely)
- [ ] Store in secure secrets manager (AWS Secrets Manager, Vault, etc.)
- [ ] Enable HTTPS for all API calls
- [ ] Set CORS_ORIGIN to your domain only
- [ ] Monitor API key usage patterns
- [ ] Set up alerts for failed authentication
- [ ] Rotate keys every 90 days
- [ ] Revoke keys immediately if compromised

## 🛠️ Utility Functions

### Generate Keys Programmatically

```javascript
import { generateApiKeys, hashApiKey } from "./utils/generateApiKey.js";

// Generate 3 production keys
const keys = generateApiKeys(3, "prod");
console.log(keys);

// Hash for database storage
const hashed = hashApiKey(keys[0]);
console.log(hashed);
```

### CLI Command

```bash
# Generate 5 production keys
node utils/generateApiKey.js prod 5

# Generate 2 staging keys
node utils/generateApiKey.js staging 2

# Generate 1 dev key
node utils/generateApiKey.js dev 1
```
