## Restoring encryption keys
## Storing encryption keys
We used randomly generated keys for encryption and message signing in the provided examples, but real-world applications require consistent keys among clients. Have a look at the [Key Pair Handling](https://github.com/waku-org/js-waku-examples/tree/master/examples/eth-pm/src/key_pair_handling) example, which demonstrates the secure storage and retrieval of key information from local storage using [Subtle Crypto](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypto).
