	The %%SSH%% employs a public key cryptography. A [[wp>Public-key_cryptography\|public-key cryptography]], also known as asymmetric cryptography, is a class of cryptographic algorithms which requires two separate keys, one of which is secret (or private) and one of which is public.((&wikipedia_ref(Public-key_cryptography\|Public-key cryptography))) Together they are known as a key-pair. In %%SSH%%, the public key cryptography is used in both directions (client to server and server to client), so two key pairs are used. One key pair is known as a host (server) key, the other as a user (client) key.		The %%SSH%% employs a public key cryptography.

	A //user private key// is key that is kept secret by the SSH user on his/hers client machine. The user must never reveal the private key to anyone, including the server (server administrator), not to compromise his/hers identity.
