# Server Key Format
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dendrite stores the server signing key in the PEM format with the following structure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
-----BEGIN MATRIX PRIVATE KEY-----
|
||
|
|
Key-ID: ed25519:<Key Handle>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<Base64 Encoded Key Data>
|
||
|
|
-----END MATRIX PRIVATE KEY-----
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Converting Synapse Keys
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have signing keys from a previous synapse server, you should ideally configure them as `old_private_keys` in your Dendrite config file. Synapse stores signing keys in the following format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
ed25519 <Key Handle> <Base64 Encoded Key Data>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To convert this key to Dendrite's PEM format, use the following template. **It is important to include the equals sign, as the key data needs to be padded to 32 bytes.**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
-----BEGIN MATRIX PRIVATE KEY-----
|
||
|
|
Key-ID: ed25519:<Key Handle>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<Base64 Encoded Key Data>=
|
||
|
|
-----END MATRIX PRIVATE KEY-----
|
||
|
|
```
