Generated keys may be one of two ty

pes

RSA or DSA (and it is beyond

the scope of t

his

document

to recommend one over the other

)

RSA keys will go into the files

id_rsa

and

id_rsa.pub

DSA keys will be stored in the files

_dsa

and

id_dsa.pub

For

simplicity going forward

the

term

private key

will be used to refer

to either

id_rsa

id_dsa

and

public key

to refer

to either

id_rsa.pub

id_dsa.pub.

To generate the keys using Open

BSD's OpenSSH suite, we use the

ssh

keyg

program:

$ ssh

keygen

t [rsa|dsa]

Generating public/private [rsa|dsa] key pair.

Enter file in which to save the key

(/home/user/.ssh/id_[rsa|dsa]):

Enter

passphrase

(empty for no passphrase):

Enter same passphrase again:

Your identification has been s

aved in

/home/user/.ssh/id_[rsa|dsa].

Your public key has been saved in

/home/user/.ssh/id_[rsa|dsa].pub.

e key fingerprint is:

28:aa:29:38:ba:40:f4:11:5e:3f:d4:fa:e5:36:14:d6 user@server

t is advisable to create a new directory to store your gene

rated

keys.

It is also possible to name

the files after

the device they will

be used for

For example:

$ mkdir keys

$ ssh

keygen

t rsa

Generating public/private rsa key pair.

Enter file in which to save the key (/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa):

/home/user/

keys/control_room

Enter

passphrase

(empty for no passphrase):

Enter same

passphrase

again:

1 2 ... 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 ... 241 242
