# `/sys/key-status`

encryption key of Vault.
## Get Encryption Key Status
This endpoint returns information about the current encryption key used by
Vault.
| Method | Path |

| `GET` | `/sys/key-status` |
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request GET \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/key-status
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"term": 3,
"install_time": "2015-05-29T14:50:46.223692553-07:00",
"encryptions": 74718331
