Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol meant to secure communications over an insecure connection between network devices. One of the ways SSH does this is by using public/private key cryptography. SSH is most commonly used as a means for secure remote login and command execution, often in the context of a client-server interaction.
This article will discuss and explore, among other things, the possible ways of creating SSH-keys, the underlying methods of encryption and some general best practices concerning interactions with servers and ssh key management. It is therefore complementary to the article: "SSH for beginners"
