Creating the public and private SSHv2 keys with ssh-keygen

If it is not already pre-installed in the Linux distribution you are using, you
can obtain OpenSSH from

http://www.openssh.org

You will find a detailed description of the operands in the OpenSSH
OpenSSH manual pages under

http://www.openssh.org/manual.html

Proceed as follows:

Call

ssh-keygen

to generate an RSA key pair:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

ssh-keygen

logs the progress of the key generation operation.

ssh-keygen

queries the user for the file name under which the private key is to be stored
and for the passphrase for the private key.

ssh-keygen

stores the resulting

private and public SSHv2 keys in separate files and displays the fingerprint
of the public key.
