Implementing Public/Private key encryption for authenticating your API

Hi all! we wrote this post a couple weeks ago. The TL;DR is that we recently built an API Key authorization flow that can integrate into any API provider&#x27;s Gateway and makes it trivially easy for them to provide their users self-service API key management: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;speakeasyapi.dev&#x2F;docs&#x2F;product-reference&#x2F;speakeasy-platform&#x2F;api-keys" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;speakeasyapi.dev&#x2F;docs&#x2F;product-reference&#x2F;speakeasy-pl...</a><p>To get that working we first evaluated every commonly-used auth method before deciding on a fairly unique approach, Signed Tokens as API Keys, but with 1 Signing Key Per API key.<p>Happy to answer any questions people have about this novel approach, or anything API auth related. If anyone wants to try out the tool here&#x27;s the sign up for the waitlist: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;speakeasyapi.dev&#x2F;request-access&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;speakeasyapi.dev&#x2F;request-access&#x2F;</a>
