Update an encryption key

Warning: The encryption at rest endpoints are currently in beta and are subject to change.

Updates the current encryption at rest key with a new private key.

You can add a new encryption key as often as you need. When you add a new key, the old key is discarded.

Your enterprise won't experience downtime when you update the key, because the key vault that GitHub manages uses the "envelope" technique. For more information, see Encryption and decryption via the envelope technique in the Azure documentation.

Your 2048 bit RSA private key should be in PEM format. For more information, see "Configuring data encryption for your enterprise."

}

Disable encryption at rest

Warning: The encryption at rest endpoints are currently in beta and are subject to change.

Marks your encryption key as disabled and disables encryption at rest. This will freeze your enterprise. For example, you can use this operation to freeze your enterprise in case of a breach. Note: This operation does not delete the key permanently.

It takes approximately ten minutes to disable encryption at rest. To check the status, use the "Get an encryption status" REST API.

To unfreeze your enterprise after you've disabled encryption at rest, you must contact Support. For more information, see "Receiving enterprise support."
