  1. Describe Uses of SSH Keys Security System Public-key cryptography in the form of SSH Keys is employed to safely authenticate a remote user or server. A public key and a private key make up an SSH key. The private key is retained locally, while the public key is kept on a remote server. The server compares the public key and the private key when a user tries to log in to confirm their identity. The user is authorised and given access if the keys match. By establishing a safe, encrypted connection between two computers using SSH Keys, hostile parties are unable to easily intercept or change the data being communicated. SSH Keys also improve security by enabling more robust authentication strategies, such two- factor authentication.

  2. Practices for SSH Keys 1. Use strong passphrases 2. Generate new keys regularly 3. Protect your key files 4. Restrict access 5. Disable password authentication 6. Disable root logins 7. Use a centralized authentication system
