How are the Operations Metered in Fortanix DSM SaaS?
The operations metered in Fortanix DSM SaaS are aggregated across all applications and rolled up to an Account. Fortanix DSM also allows the creation of transient keys — keys that are not stored in DSM and are tied to a particular session only. Any operation done on such transient keys is also metered and rolled into the total number of operations for an account.
The following operations metered on Cryptographic key:
Key Generation, Import, Export
Digest Key, Re-key, Derive Key, Agree Key
Persist transient key
Encrypt, Decrypt
Wrap, Unwrap
Multi-part Encrypt (Init, Update, Final, Init)
Multi-part Decrypt (Update, Final)
Signature Generation, Signature Verification
Mac generation, Mac verification
Operations metered on secrets:
Import or writing of a new secret
Rotate a secret with a new secret
Export or reading of a secret
Operations metered on opaque objects:
Import of a new opaque object
For more details on the operations metered, refer to the User's Guide: Usage Metrics.
Operations are individually aggregated at an application level, group level, and key level. If needed they can be queried using APIs. Note that all the operations on a key, secret or opaque object can be performed inside a Fortanix DSM plugin as well.
