Then, add the public key and the cache URL to your `nix.conf`'s
`trusted-public-keys` and `substituters` options:
Then update [`nix.conf`](../command-ref/conf-file.md) on any machine that will access the cache.
Add the cache URL to [`substituters`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-substituters) and the public key to [`trusted-public-keys`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-trusted-public-keys):

substituters = https://cache.nixos.org/ s3://example-nix-cache
trusted-public-keys = cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY= example-nix-cache-1:1/cKDz3QCCOmwcztD2eV6Coggp6rqc9DGjWv7C0G+rM=

Machines that build for the cache must sign derivations using the private key.
On those machines, add the path to the key file to the [`secret-key-files`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-secret-key-files) field in their [`nix.conf`](../command-ref/conf-file.md):

secret-key-files = /etc/nix/key.private

We will restart the Nix daemon in a later step.
