Do you find yourself asking…

  • What is SSH key authentication?

    Secure Shell (SSH) key authentication is a form of remote access control commonly used in file transfer tools and often leveraged by major corporations and cloud data centers. The SSH protocol provides secure remote login, and key authentication is based on the generation of SSH keys, which are encrypted access credentials. A common form of key authentication is public key authentication, which allows access between a local machine and a remote server.
