  title Generating an SSH key...
  An SSH-Key is a key pair for use in asymmetric cryptosystems. It can be generated with the program ssh-keygen, see man ssh-keygen for more details. An example for its use: Code Block msp@launchpad:~> ssh-keygen -t dsa Generating public/private dsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/msp/.ssh/id_dsa): Created directory '/home/msp/.ssh'. Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /home/msp/.ssh/id_dsa. Your public key has been saved in /home/msp/.ssh/id_dsa.pub. The key fingerprint is: 9f:1c:23:48:62:8c:e7:92:40:13:d5:c5:f5:79:e0:bd msp@launchpad The filename prompt for the key can be skipped with return. The passphrase is a symmetric key that is used to encrypt your secret key; if you write something there, you have to enter that same password every time you use your key, e.g. when you log in with ssh on a machine where the key is needed. The file .ssh/id_dsa is your secret key, you must never give this file to anyone else. .ssh/id_dsa.pub is your public key, this is the one you can give to others so it can be used for cryptography.
