-# The `subkey` program is a key management utility for Substrate-based blockchains. You can use the `subkey` program to perform the following tasks:
-
-* Generate and inspect cryptographically-secure public and private key pairs.
-* Restore keys from secret phrases and raw seeds.
-* Sign and verify signatures on messages.
-* Sign and verify signatures for encoded transactions.
-* Derive hierarchical deterministic child key pairs.
-* [Documentation](https://docs.substrate.io/reference/command-line-tools/subkey/)
