|
|
|

|
|
|
- Generate a key interactively:
|
|
|
|
`ssh-keygen`
|
|
|
|
- Generate an ed25519 key with 32 key derivation function rounds and save the key to a specific file:
|
|
|
|
`ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 32 -f {{~/.ssh/filename}}`
|
|
|
|
- Generate an RSA 4096-bit key with email as a comment:
|
|
|
|
`ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "{{comment|email}}"`
|
|
|
|
- Remove the keys of a host from the `known_hosts` file (useful when a known host has a new key):
|
|
|
|
`ssh-keygen -R {{remote_host}}`
|
|
|
|
- Retrieve the fingerprint of a key in MD5 Hex:
|
|
|
|
`ssh-keygen -l -E md5 -f {{~/.ssh/filename}}`
|
|
|
|
- Change the password of a key:
|
|
|
|
`ssh-keygen -p -f {{~/.ssh/filename}}`
|
|
|
|
- Change the type of the key format (for example from OPENSSH format to PEM), the file will be rewritten in-place:
|
|
|
|
`ssh-keygen -p -m PEM -f {{~/.ssh/OpenSSH_private_key}}`
|
|
|
|
- Retrieve public key from private key:
|
|
|
|
`ssh-keygen -y -f {{~/.ssh/OpenSSH_private_key}}`
