 SSH keys are similar to passwords.  They can be created by the command ''ssh-keygen''.  During the creation of the key files, the user is asked to enter a keyphrase.  This keyphrase is an additional password, which can be used with the key files.  If you do, however, not want to add any further security, you can simply press Enter.  The ''ssh-keygen'' command then creates two files in the ''.ssh'' directory (in ''$HOME''): a private identification key called ''id_rsa'' and a public verification key ''id_rsa.pub''.   SSH keys are similar to passwords.  They can be created by the command ''ssh-keygen''.  During the creation of the key files, the user is asked to enter a keyphrase.  This keyphrase is an additional password, which can be used with the key files.  If you do, however, not want to add any further security, you can simply press Enter.  The ''ssh-keygen'' command then creates two files in the ''.ssh'' directory (in ''$HOME''): a private identification key called ''id_rsa'' and a public verification key ''id_rsa.pub''.  
  
-The public key has to be transfered to the remote machine by the command ''ssh-copy-id username@machine'', e.g. ''ssh-copy-id boemer@clifton.ltas.ulg.ac.be''.  This command adds the alpha-numeric key in ''id_rsa.pub'' to the file ''.ssh/authorized_keys'' on the remote machine.+The public key has to be transfered to the remote machine by the command ''ssh-copy-id username@machine'', e.g. ''ssh-copy-id boemer@blueberry.ltas.ulg.ac.be''.  This command adds the alpha-numeric key in ''id_rsa.pub'' to the file ''.ssh/authorized_keys'' on the remote machine.
  
 When you try to connect for the next time to the remote machine, no password will be asked since the ssh command compares your private key in ''.ssh/id_rsa'' with the public key in ''.ssh/authorized_keys'' on the remote machine.  If the comparison is successful, the connection is established.  In reality, a more complex operation than a simple comparison is performed.  See [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_%28cryptosystem%29|RSA]]. When you try to connect for the next time to the remote machine, no password will be asked since the ssh command compares your private key in ''.ssh/id_rsa'' with the public key in ''.ssh/authorized_keys'' on the remote machine.  If the comparison is successful, the connection is established.  In reality, a more complex operation than a simple comparison is performed.  See [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_%28cryptosystem%29|RSA]].
