KPN Webhook Signing Keys API

    When KPN delivers a webhook to your endpoint, signing keys are to know the request genuinely
    came from KPN and wasn't tampered with in transit.

    KPN signs every outbound webhook payload using HMAC-SHA256 and includes the signature
    in a header. You store a shared secret on your side, compute the
    expected signature over the incoming request body, and compare it to the header value.
    If they match, the payload is genuine. This API lets you create and manage those
    shared secrets.

    **How signing keys work**

    You can set a signing key at three levels — Organization, Team, or Application. When
    KPN delivers a webhook, it picks the active key starting at the most specific level
    (Application), falling back to Team, then Organization. KPN automatically provisions
    an organization-level key on your first webhook delivery if you haven't created one.

    Each key moves through a simple lifecycle:

    - **staged** — created but not yet in use. Lets you set up your receiver before switching over.
    - **active** — the key currently used to sign all outgoing webhook deliveries.
    - **retiring** — being phased out after a newer key was activated. Kept alive long enough for any already-sent webhooks to be verified.
    - **retired** — fully decommissioned. Safe to delete.

    **Rotating keys without downtime**

    You can switch to a new signing key at any time without missing a delivery:

    1. Create a new key with `staged: true` — your current active key keeps signing.
    2. Call `/reveal` to get the new key's plaintext secret and configure your receiver to accept both keys.
    3. Activate the new key — the previously active key moves to retiring automatically.
    4. Once you're confident all in-flight deliveries have been verified, retire then delete the old key.

    **Verifying payloads on your end**

    When a webhook arrives, check the header. It contains an HMAC-SHA256
    hex digest of the raw request body, signed with your active key secret. On your side,
    recompute that digest over the raw body bytes using your stored secret and compare the
    two values with a constant-time comparison — this prevents timing attacks. If the values
    don't match, reject the request.

    **Authentication**

    You need an OAuth 2.0 Bearer token to call these endpoints. You must add **WebhookConfigs-SigningKeys-KPN** product to your project. Exchange your **Client ID**
    and **Client Secret** (available in the [KPN API Store](https://developer.kpn.com)) for
    an access token, then pass it as `Authorization: Bearer <token>` on every request.
    Tokens expire, so build in a refresh before expiry.
