SSH Overview

Generate a secure SSH key

ED25519 requires OpenSSH v6.5

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 100 -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_admin -C "{my-email@domain.tld}"

You might need a second RSA key because ED25519 uses the OpenSSH format to save the private key. This new format is supported from OpenSSH v6.5.

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -a 100 -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa_admin -C "{my-email@domain.tld}"

Information

Read a private key and output the public key (e.g. to validate the password) :

ssh-keygen -y -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_admin
