## Authentication Key Security

Creating an agent involves creating an authentication key. An agent registered with that authentication key can join the agent's network. If you have a production network, only use the generated authentication key for agents placed in your production network. Apply the same principle for development networks.

* Single resource – If your app only needs to reach one specific resource, advertise it as a `/32` route (for example, `192.168.1.10/32`).

* App subnet – If you host all apps in one specific subnet, use the subnet router (for example, `192.168.1.0/24`).

* Entire network – If you want to share the entire network to avoid repeatedly opening new routes, use the entire VPC or VNet subnet router (for example, `192.168.0.0/16`).
