\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.
