notes: >-
  No OpenAPI is published for the Virgil service APIs (Cards, Keyknox, Pythia,
  PFS), so this profile is derived from the developer documentation rather than
  a spec. Virgil services authenticate with a short-lived JSON Web Token (JWT).
  The JWT is generated server-side by the application backend using the app's
  Virgil App ID, API Key ID and API Key (private key) obtained from the Virgil
  Dashboard; the client SDK requests this JWT from the backend and presents it
  to Virgil Cloud services as a Bearer token. Account/application and API-key
  management is done via the Virgil Dashboard and the virgil-cli tool.

    description: >-
      Short-lived JWT signed by the application's Virgil API Key and presented
      as `Authorization: Bearer <jwt>` to Virgil Cloud services.
