Can you share SSH keys?

While private keys should be kept secret by the authorized person wishing to gain access to a system, public keys may be freely shared. SSH keys are usually generated by a user entering a passphrase or other information.

How to securely share SSH keys?

The best approach for securely authenticating SSH sessions, however, is to create a public key pair for the local computer and copy the public key file to the remote SSH server. Only a user with authenticated permission should be able to copy files to the server.

Is it OK to share public SSH key?

Conceivably, you can share the public key with anyone without compromising the private key; you store it on the remote system in a .ssh/authorized_keys directory. To use SSH public key authentication: The remote system must have a version of SSH installed.

Can I use the same SSH key for multiple users?

So, No - you'll need a separate key for each account. Although you need multiple ssh key pairs for multiple accounts you can configure multiple ssh identities and use via aliases on your machine. You can also just use your username in place of "git" or "hg". Still need separate keys, though.

How do I manually copy a SSH key?

Once you have your key saved on the server, you must copy the key string (remember, beginning with ssh-rsa and ending with USERNAME@HOST) to the /home/USERNAME/. ssh/authorized_keys file (Where USERNAME is the user in question). If that file doesn't exist, create it with the command nano ~/. ssh/authorized_keys.

Should I share SSH keys between computers?

Don't use the same private key on machines in different realms (e.g. home and work), never share a private key between two users, and never share a private key between a laptop and any other machine.

How do I share a private key?

Sharing a private key requires a high degree of authority for each server involved. The key ring containing the shared certificate must be protected and each server must be configured to access the shared key ring and have sufficient access authority to read the private key with the R_datalib callable service.

How do I distribute a private key?

You have two options for distributing secret encryption keys: you can electronically mail them to users, or you can save the key to a file and give the users the file.

Can SSH key be hacked?

SSH is one of the most common protocols in use in modern IT infrastructures, and because of this, it can be a valuable attack vector for hackers. One of the most reliable ways to gain SSH access to servers is by brute-forcing credentials.

Can I copy my SSH private key to another computer?

Copy the key to a server

The copying may ask for a password or other authentication for the server. Only the public key is copied to the server. The private key should never be copied to another machine.

Can you copy an SSH key to another computer?

The easiest way to copy SSH keys is using the ssh-copy-id script.

Should I share SSH keys between computers?

Don't use the same private key on machines in different realms (e.g. home and work), never share a private key between two users, and never share a private key between a laptop and any other machine.

Can I copy my SSH private key to another computer?

What is the risk of SSH keys?

Private key compromise

When administrators are authorized to use SSH public key authentication, they can be careless in their handling of their private keys by placing them in insecure locations, copying them to multiple computers, and not protecting them with strong passwords.

Is SSH key A private key?

An SSH key relies upon the use of two related keys, a public key and a private key, that together create a key pair that is used as the secure access credential. The private key is secret, known only to the user, and should be encrypted and stored safely.

Can I reuse my SSH key?

You can either reuse an existing SSH key pair or generate a new one. You can also reuse an existing OpenSSH key pair for use in PuTTY. You need the public key as input during the creation of a new virtual server. You need the private key when you log in to the virtual server.
