# Access and keys

> Access data, key generation, and secure-storage practices.

## Data supplied by the acquirer

Request the following before configuring the plugin:

* Acquirer ID.
* Merchant ID.
* Merchant administrator access to VPayment web in the integration environment.

## When to generate keys

<Warning>
  Generate keys in VPayment only when the merchant uses the Modal integration. Generating a new package immediately replaces the current keys and requires the integration to be registered and configured again.
</Warning>

1. Sign in to VPayment web with the supplied credentials.
2. Open **Administration → Public and Private Keys**.
3. Select **Register Keys**.
4. Confirm with **Register and download**.
5. Store `LlavesSHA2.zip` in a secure, access-controlled location.

| `PUBLIC_RSA_*_PASARELA*.txt`   | Gateway RSA public key.       | Not required for this integration. |

## Storage and rotation

* Regenerate keys only if they are lost, compromised, or scheduled for rotation.
* Keep an encrypted backup of the original package.
* Never store keys in the website repository or transmit them through public channels.
* Define a rotation policy; the source guide recommends considering annual rotation.
* Update the plugin immediately after issuing replacement keys.
