# Root Entropy Ceremonies

There are 3 primary types of [Root Entropy](glossary.md#root-entropy-re)
derivation ceremonies:

* "Local": where all cryptographic material, including the Operator Keys,
Location Keys, and the Root Entropy are all generated during a single in-person
ceremony

* "Hybrid": where the Operator Keys and Location Keys are generated separately
prior to the in-person ceremony where the Root Entropy is generated

* "Remote": where all cryptographic material is generated in a decentralized
manner, remotely.
