Distributing a local host public key
You must distribute a local host public key to a peer device so the peer device can use the public key to
encrypt information sent to the local device or authenticate the digital signature signed by the local
device.
To distribute a local host public key:
1. Record the key or export the key to a file
2. Transfer the key, for example, by using FTP or TFTP
This section covers only the first task.
The following methods are available for recording or exporting a local host public key:
• Exporting a host public key in a specific format to a file (use this method if you can import public
keys from a file on the peer device).
• Displaying a host public key in a specific format and saving it to a file (use this method if you can
import public keys from a file on the peer device).
• Displaying a host public key (use this method if you must manually enter the key on the peer device).
