API keys can help meet some of the requirements of the Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) standards. For example, they can provide secure authentication and access control to APIs.

However, additional security controls may also be required to fully meet the requirements of the ASVS standards, such as implementing encryption for sensitive data, validating input, and performing output encoding.

It is important to review the specific ASVS requirements and determine if API keys alone are sufficient or if additional security controls are needed to meet the standard.
