## Cautions in managing access keys and secret keys

The features of Secret Manager can be used with the Rest APIs. Secret Manager identifies users and verifies permissions using access keys and secret keys. You can check the access key and secret key of the sub account on the sub account details interface of Sub Account.

If the information used for API call (access key and secret key) is exposed, the secret owner can access it with the same permission retained by the owner. Therefore, users must make the appropriate efforts to comply with the cloud shared responsibility model when using API.

              Note

              

For more information on NAVER Cloud Platform and the user's cloud shared responsibility model, see [Security center](https://www.ncloud.com/intro/securityNotice/materials) of the NAVER Cloud Platform portal.

Precautions when using API credentials are as follows:

- API credentials (access key and secret key of the sub account) should not be included directly in the code.
- Different credentials must be used for each service or application.
- API credential information must be renewed periodically.
- You must check the secret usage history of Secret Manager periodically to check for unauthorized API calls.
- Any unused API credentials must be discarded immediately.
