The %%SSH%% employs 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, and the other is a user (client) key. | The %%SSH%% employs public key cryptography.

- | MIIEpAIBAAKCAQEAi+D6tOmB0uDx4n9ldVKrCvRHyOKSS0Su2D3hUfFfzCF9j7el | + | A //user private key// is a key kept secret by the %%SSH%% user on his/her client machine. The user must never reveal the private key to anyone, including the server (server administrator), not to compromise his/her identity. |

The passphrase should be long enough (that's why it's called passphrase, not password) to withstand a [[wp>Brute-force_attack|brute-force attack]] for a reasonably long time, in case an attacker obtains the private key file. |
