Each build of Laika (cnc, bot && shell) is tied to a 'central keypair.' This keypair is used by the cnc server to authenticate themselves with each bot. The keypair is defined as a macro in `lib/include/lconfig.h.in`.
## Generating keypairs
[After compiling the target](Compiling), an output binary called `genKey` will be produced. This is a simple wrapper for libsodium to generate [keypairs](https://doc.libsodium.org/key_exchange/).
```sh
$ ./bin/genKey
```
> Note: on windows, genKey will be located in `winbin`
You should receive output that looks like:
```
[~] Generated keypair!
[~] public key: 40d5534aca77d1f5ec2bbe79dd9d0f52a78148918f95814404cefe97c34c5c27
[~] private key: 90305aa77023d1c1e03265c3b6af046eb58d6ec8ba650b0dffed01379feab8cc
```
## Passing keypairs back to Laika
Now that you have your central keypair, delete the build and output directories.
```sh
$ rm -rf bin build
```
Now re-build Laika, but passing your keypair
```sh
$ cmake -B build -DLAIKA_PUBKEY="40d5534aca77d1f5ec2bbe79dd9d0f52a78148918f95814404cefe97c34c5c27" -DLAIKA_PRIVKEY="90305aa77023d1c1e03265c3b6af046eb58d6ec8ba650b0dffed01379feab8cc" && cmake --build build
```
