Those are two alternative spellings for the same word. La clef was the popular spelling until fairly recently. It's usual to encounter it in older literature. La clé is newer and more popular today. You'll still see both, however.

How can you tell if a noun is masculine or feminine in French?
In French, nouns are either masculine or feminine. Some general rules can help: nouns ending in -e are typically feminine (e.g., une table - a table), while nouns ending in -age, -ment, or -eau are usually masculine (e.g., un livre - a book).
