Previously, a single key was used to access the API, this has not changed in terms of what the user sees. However, API keys now use an identifier and token internally. The identifier is the first 16 characters of the key, and the token is the remaining 32. The token is stored encrypted at rest in the database and the identifier is used by the API middleware to grab that record and make a timing attack safe comparison.
Still only partially implemented, however this method will allow the
inclusion of data that is granted with servers (such as viewing more
about the node, node location, allocations, etc) while still limiting
someone from doing `?include=node.servers` and listing all servers when
they don’t have list-servers as a permission.
