What ssh-keygen
is used for?
+
+ssh-keygen
is a tool to generate an authentication key pair for SSH, that consists of a private and a public key. It supports a number of algorithms to generate authentication keys :
+- dsa
+- ecdsa
+- ecdsa-sk
+- ed25519
+- ed25519-sk
+- rsa (default)
+
+One can also specify number of bits in key. Command below generates an SSH key pair with RSA 4096-bits :
+```
+$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
+```
+
+The output looks like this:
+```
+Generating public/private rsa key pair.
+Enter file in which to save the key (/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa):
+Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
+Enter same passphrase again:
+Your identification has been saved in /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa
+Your public key has been saved in /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
+The key fingerprint is:
+SHA256:f5MOGnhzYfC0ZCHvbSXXiRiNVYETjxpHcXD5xSojx+M user@mac-book-pro
+The key's randomart image is:
++---[RSA 4096]----+
+| . ..+***o|
+| o o++*o+|
+| . =+.++++|
+| B.oX+. .|
+| S *=o+ |
+| . o oE. |
+| . + + + |
+| . = + . |
+| . . |
++----[SHA256]-----+
+```
+
+One can check how many bits an SSH key has with :
+```
+$ ssh-keygen -l -f /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa
+```
+
+Output should look like this :
+```
+4096 SHA256:f5MOGnhzYfC0ZCHvbSXXiRiNVYETjxpHcXD5xSojx+M user@mac-book-pro (RSA)
+```
+It shows the key is RSA 4096-bits.
+
+`-l` and `-f` parameters usage explanation :
+```
+-l Show the fingerprint of the key file.
+-f filename Filename of the key file.
+```
