RSA Keys for SSH
Hello,
I heard that using RSA keys instead of password authentication is more secure for ssh. Is this try? If so, then can you please give me some instructions on how to set it up. Thanks! -X |
P.S.
Why and how is it more secure? Thanks! |

You will be able to use sshkeygen to set up your rsa key or dsa key. This can make random key sets with a specified amount of bits that you want the key to be. Do not make the key too big or else the ssh daemon will fail to start up. I would just create an extra key with a little larger amount of bits then the regular rsa key. Good luck man I hope this helps you
