Overview of this book

Do you want to create stunning applications with HoloLens? Are you a developer who is fascinated with Microsoft HoloLens and its capabilities? If so, this is the book for you. This book introduces and demystifies the HoloLens platform and shows you different ways of interaction with computers (mixed-reality). You will start your mixed-reality journey by understanding different types of digital reality. You will learn to build your first holographic app. Also, you will understand holographic application integration possibilities within Line of Business Applications using Azure. Moving ahead, you will create Integrated Solutions using IoT with HoloLens. Gradually you'll learn how to create and deploy apps on a device. You will learn to publish application to the store; if you are an enterprise developer, you will also manage and distribute applications for enterprise-enabled or domain-joined HoloLens. Finally, you will develop an end-to-end realistic holographic app, ranging from scenario identification to sketching, development, deployment, and, finally, production.

Handling secure keys with Azure Key Vault


In the preceding scenarios, such as Bot Framework integration or HealthVault integration, we dealt with keys such as bot secret keys, which we don't recommend embedding or storing within a Holographic UWP application. For any enterprise scenario, these should be kept in secure locations, such as the Azure Key Vault solution for storing keys securely.

Key vault integration with Holographic application

In this section, we will look at ways to access Azure Key Vault from the holographic application. If you are not familiar with Azure Key Vault and would like to learn from the start, visit https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/.

Azure Key Vault provides REST APIs to access secret keys and manage the overall Key Vault. For access keys, you must first get yourself authenticated and get an access token. All requests to Azure Key Vault must be authenticated through Azure Active Directory access tokens.

To retrieve the secret key from Azure Key Vault...
