EXPORT KEY (bSQL) | Blockpoint Docs
Exports the specified key to the bSQL command line or to a specified file. For examples, see Examples.
Syntax​
EXPORT KEY "key_name" [TO "export_file"] [ <encryption_clause> ]
<encryption_clause> ::=
[ { ENC | ENCRYPT } = "enc_key_name" [HMAC = "hmac_name"] ]
Arguments​
key_name
The name of the key to be exported.
enc_key_name
The name of the encryption key.
hmac_name
The name of a secondary hmac encryption key.
Remarks​
If export_file is not specified the command will default to a bSQL command line output, exporting the key as a byte array.
If specified the export_file will be created following any provided path specifications and will be written using raw bytes.
Permissions​
The user must have access to the target key and any subsequent encryption keys in order to export it.
Examples​
Exporting a key in the command line.​
The following example exports "base key" as command line output; encryption and validity tracking are done with the key "admin key".
EXPORT KEY "base key" ENC = "admin key" HMAC = "admin key"
Output.​
Your key named "base key" is [48 231 249 169 248 200 192 128 251 95 48 67 19

additional security using the hmac key "admin key"
Exporting a key to a file.​
The following example exports the same key to the file "admin_key_bytes" using the same encryption and hmac specifications.
EXPORT KEY "base key" TO "admin_key_bytes" ENC = "admin key" HMAC = "admin key"
