# Register and Generate Keys

Once you've initialised your **NotVault** library as detailed in the previous section, you're now ready to register an account and perform key generation.

To register an account and generate keys in a TypeScript environment, follow the steps below:

1. **Import the necessary libraries**:

   ```typescript
   import { NotVault } from '@notcentralised/notvault-sdk';
   ```
2. **Instantiate the NotVault class**:

   ```typescript
   const vault = new NotVault();
   ```
3. **Register the contact ID and keys**:

   * Use the `.register` method of the `vault` instance to register the account. This method takes in several parameters and callback functions to facilitate the registration process.
   * The parameters for this method include the wallet address, email or 0xWallet, and the secret key.
   * The callback functions include retrieving the public key from the crypto wallet, decrypting with the crypto wallet, and a success callback that logs the public key and contact ID.

   ```typescript
   await vault.register(
       '... Wallet Address ...', 
       '... Email or 0xWallet ...',
       '... Secret Key ...',
       async () => { return '... Public Key ...'; }, // Retrieve public key from crypto wallet    
       async (encryptedPrivateKey: string) => { return '... Private Key ...'; }, // Decrypt with crypt wallet
       async (publicKey: string, contactId: string) => { console.log('Success!', publicKey, contactId); } // Success
   );
   ```

With these steps, your account is registered in **NotVault** and your keys are properly set up for further operations. This registration process is an essential step for successfully using **NotVault** to perform secure and confidential operations on your data and tokens.
