#SSH - аутентификация с помощью ключей.
Сгенерировать ключ:
```
ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 521 
```
Рекомендуется использовать ecdsa, так как другие алгоритмы менее безопасны
Копировать на сервер:
```
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/bla-key-ecdsa user@host
```
Пароль используется для шифрования закрытого ключа, хранящегося на компьютере.
Цитата с сайта ssh по поводу алгоритмов:
“Choosing an Algorithm and Key Size
SSH supports several public key algorithms for authentication keys. These include:
 rsa - an old algorithm based on the difficulty of factoring large numbers. A key size of at least 2048 bits is recommended for RSA; 4096 bits is better. RSA is getting old and significant advances are being made in factoring. Choosing a different algorithm may be advisable. It is quite possible the RSA algorithm will become practically breakable in the foreseeable future. All SSH clients support this algorithm.
 dsa - an old US government Digital Signature Algorithm. It is based on the difficulty of computing discrete logarithms. A key size of 1024 would normally be used with it. DSA in its original form is no longer recommended.
 ecdsa - a new Digital Signature Algorithm standarized by the US government, using elliptic curves. This is probably a good algorithm for current applications. Only three key sizes are supported: 256, 384, and 521 (sic!) bits. We would recommend always using it with 521 bits, since the keys are still small and probably more secure than the smaller keys (even though they should be safe as well). Most SSH clients now support this algorithm.
 ed25519 - this is a new algorithm added in OpenSSH. Support for it in clients is not yet universal. Thus its use in general purpose applications may not yet be advisable.
 The algorithm is selected using the -t option and key size using the -b option. The following commands illustrate:
 ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 ssh-keygen -t dsa ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 521 ssh-keygen -t ed25519”

“It Should Be Hard to Guess
A good passphrase should have at least 15, preferably 20 characters and be difficult to guess. It should contain upper case letters, lower case letters, digits, and preferably at least one punctuation character. No part of it should be derivable from personal information about the user or his/her family.
Sometimes there is a need to generate random passwords or phrases automatically.”
