Public key cryptography

wikipedia:Public key cryptography

• RSA/DSA

Commands

Generate public key from private key:

• ssh-keygen -y -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa > ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Generate a public key from a PEM private key

• openssl rsa -in mykey.pem -pubout > mykey.pub

Generate fingerpring:

• ssh-keygen -l -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_XXXXkey.pub

OpenSSH 7.6 (2017)

• Refuse keys <1024 bits in lengh and improve reporting for keys that do not meet this requirement.
