What is host key in SSH?

A host key is a cryptographic key used for authenticating computers in the SSH protocol. Host keys are key pairs, typically using the RSA, DSA, or ECDSA algorithms. Public host keys are stored on and/or distributed to SSH clients, and private keys are stored on SSH servers.

How does SSH keys work?

SSH keys are a matching set of cryptographic keys which can be used for authentication. The server then checks its authorized_keys file for the public key, generates a random string, and encrypts it using the public key. This encrypted message can only be decrypted with the associated private key.

How do I SSH into RSA key?

Procedure

  1. Use the ssh-keygen tool to create a key pair.
  2. Validate that the keys were generated.
  3. Enable key-based authentication in the /etc/ssh directory on the SSH server.
  4. Copy the rsa.
  5. If you have an existing authorized_keys file, edit it to remove any no-pty restrictions.

    • Where to find SSH key?

    Keys on your computer. SSH keys are stored in the ~/.ssh folder. You can have more than one key in there, because SSH keys are used for things other than Git. You can list all your SSH keys by typing.

    Should I create a new SSH key?

    You should always generate new keys regularly to avoid having keys that are likely to be insecure. One reason to have passwordless authentication is to have automated scripts or programs access the remote host without any human interaction. As an example, rsync can automatically retrieve files from the remote server via SSH.
