Generate a serial signing key

You can generate serial signing keys within the Serial Vault. For security reasons, this is preferred over generating a key locally and uploading it to the Serial Vault (as described in Import a serial signing key).

The operations on this page are to be performed from the “Signing Keys” section of the Serial Vault, while logged in with an administrator account.

Generating the key

From the “Signing Keys” section, click on the gear icon .

The “Signing Authority” field will be pre-populated with your brand ID.

Input a name for the key that is unique for your store in the “Key Name” field, and click on Generate.

Register the key to the store

Now you can register your serial key. Ensure you use the correct ID from the “Signing Keys” section, listed in the “KEY ID” column.

Click on the shopping cart icon .

Choose the key you just created from the “Signing Key” drop-down menu. All keys stored in the Serial Vault will be visible, with each entry listed as brand-id/key-id.

Input the same name for the key in the “Key Name” field.

Finally, input your Brand account credentials and click on Save.
