# Subkey
|
||||
|
||||
Subkey is a commandline utility included with Substrate. It allows generating and restoring keys for Substrate based chains such as Polkadot, Kusama and a growing number of parachains and Substrate based projects.

|
||||
|
||||
`subkey` provides a few sub-commands to generate keys, check keys, sign messages, verify messages, etc...
|
||||
|
||||
You can see the full list of commands with `subkey --help`. Most commands have additional help available with for instance `subkey generate --help` for the `generate` command.

## Safety first
|
||||
|
||||
`subkey` does not need an internet connection to work. Indeed, for the best security, you should be using `subkey` on a machine that is **not connected** to the internet.

|

`subkey` deals with **seeds** and **private keys**. Make sure to use `subkey` in a safe environment (ie. no one looking over your shoulder) and on a safe computer (ie. no one able to check your command history).
