# Assign a Regular Key Pair

The XRP Ledger allows an account to authorize a secondary key pair, called a _regular key pair_, to sign future transactions. If the private key of a regular key pair is compromised, you can remove or replace it without changing the rest of your account and re-establishing its relationships to other accounts. You can also rotate a regular key pair proactively. (Neither of those things is possible for the master key pair of an account, which is intrinsically linked to the account's address.)

For more information about master and regular key pairs, see [Cryptographic Keys](cryptographic-keys.html).

This tutorial walks through the steps required to assign a regular key pair to your account:

1. [Generate a key pair](#1-generate-a-key-pair)
2. [Assign the key pair to your account as a regular key pair](#2-assign-the-key-pair-to-your-account-as-a-regular-key-pair)
3. [Verify the regular key pair](#3-verify-the-regular-key-pair)
4. [Explore next steps](#4-explore-next-steps)


## 1. Generate a Key Pair

Use the [wallet_propose method][] to generate the key pair that you'll assign to your account as a regular key pair.

      "status" : "success"
   }
}
```

<!-- MULTICODE_BLOCK_END -->

In the next step, you'll use the `account_id` from this response to assign the key pair as a regular key pair to your account. Also, save the `master_seed` value somewhere securely. (Everything else, you can forget about.)


## 2. Assign the Key Pair to Your Account as a Regular Key Pair

Use a [SetRegularKey transaction][] to assign the key pair you generated in step 1 to your account as a regular key pair.

When assigning a regular key pair to your account for the first time, the SetRegularKey transaction requires signing by your account's master private key (secret). Transmitting your master private key is dangerous, so we'll complete this transaction in two steps to keep transaction signing separate from transaction submission to the network.

When you send subsequent SetRegularKey transactions, you can sign using the existing regular private key to replace or [remove itself](change-or-remove-a-regular-key-pair.html). Note that you should still not submit your regular private key across the network.


### Sign Your Transaction

{% include '_snippets/tutorial-sign-step.md' %}
<!--{#_ #}-->

Populate the request fields with the following values:

| Request Field | Value                                                        |
|:--------------|:-------------------------------------------------------------|
| `Account`     | The address of your account.                                 |
| `RegularKey`  | `account_id` generated in step 1.                            |
| `secret`      | `master_key`, `master_seed`, or `master_seed_hex` (master private key) for your account. |

<!-- MULTICODE_BLOCK_END -->

The `sign` command response contains a `tx_blob` value, as shown above. The offline signing response contains a `signedTransaction` value. Both are signed binary representations (blobs) of the transaction.

Next, use the `submit` command to transmit the transaction blob (`tx_blob` or `signedTransaction`) to the network.


### Submit Your Transaction

Take the `signedTransaction` value from the offline signing response or the `tx_blob` value from the `sign` command response and submit it as the `tx_blob` value using the [submit method][].

Note that the response contains a `hash` of the transaction, which you can use to [look up the transaction's final outcome](tx.html).


## 3. Verify the Regular Key Pair

To verify that your account has the regular key pair set correctly, submit an [AccountSet transaction][] from your account, signing it with the regular private key you assigned to your account in step 2.

As discussed in step 2, transmitting your master private key is dangerous. It is equally risky to transmit your regular private key, though the consequences of being comprised might be less severe. Therefore, we'll complete this transaction in two steps to keep transaction signing separate from transaction submission to the network.


### Sign Your Transaction

{% include '_snippets/tutorial-sign-step.md' %}
<!--{#_ #}-->

Populate the request fields with the following values:

| Request Field | Value                                                        |
|:--------------|:-------------------------------------------------------------|
| `Account`     | The address of your account.                               |
| `secret`      | `master_key`, `master_seed`, or `master_seed_hex` (regular private key) generated in step 1 and assigned to your account in step 2. |


#### Request Format

Here's an example of the request format. Note that the request does not include any `AccountSet` options. This means that a successful transaction has no effect other than to confirm that the regular key pair is set correctly for your account (and to destroy the transaction cost).

<!-- MULTICODE_BLOCK_END -->

The `sign` command response contains a `tx_blob` value, as shown above. The offline signing response contains a `signedTransaction` value. Both are signed binary representations (blobs) of the transaction.

Next, use the `submit` command to transmit the transaction blob (`tx_blob` or `signedTransaction`) to the network.


### Submit Your Transaction

Take the `signedTransaction` value from the offline signing response or the `tx_blob` value from the `sign` command response and submit it as the `tx_blob` value using the [submit method][].
