\C{pubkey} Using public keys for SSH authentication
|
|
|
|
\# Explain the basic principles of public key authentication. Many
|
|
\# people don't have the faintest idea what it is or why it's good.
|
|
|
|
\# Explain the dangers of leaving an unprotected private key around.
|
|
\# Explain passphrases, and urge that people NEVER store
|
|
\# unpassphrased keys unless they really need to or they can be sure
|
|
\# the machine is secure.
|
|
|
|
\# Mention a good length for a passphrase. (I think Schneier
|
|
\# said something about this on counterpane.com once.)
|
|
|
|
\# In case people don't like the idea of exchanging a short password
|
|
\# typed every time for a longer passphrase typed every time, link
|
|
\# to the Pageant chapter.
