I think I have my answer: Your cryptographic URL-signing key will be issued with your client ID. Client IDs are issued to all Maps API Premier customers, and to developers who apply to use the Places web service. This private key is unique to your client ID. For that reason, please keep your key secure. This key — though used to generate the signature — should not be passed within any requests, stored on any websites, or posted to any public forum. Anyone obtaining this key "in the clear" could spoof requests using your identity.
