Audit events: keys for hosts

The audit catalogue's events for keys for hosts: asked for, saved, declined, used on a request to their host, sent to the wrong place, and removed.

The audit catalogue's events for keys for hosts: a key a seat asks for, the person types into a card on the Mac, and the Mac's network guard puts into requests to the hosts named with it. The seat never sees it.

What these do not carry

A key is named by the variable it goes in and the hosts it is for, never by its value or any part of it. A use names the host, never the path, the request or the response. The key stays on the Mac, encrypted; nothing here comes from a copy of it anywhere else.

Mac: the app reported it.
