Editor to share with you how to use the ssh-keygen command in Linux, I believe most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to know it!

The Linux common command ssh-keygen command is used to generate, manage, and transform authentication keys for "ssh". It supports both RSA and DSA authentication keys.

Command format syntax ssh-keygen [- Q] [- b bits]-t type [- N new_passphrase] [- C comment] [- f output_keyfile] ssh-keygen-p [- P old_passphrase] [- N new_passphrase] [- f keyfile] ssh-keygen-I [- f input_keyfile] ssh-keygen-e [- f input_keyfile] ssh-keygen-y [- f input_keyfile] ssh- Keygen-c [- P passphrase] [- C comment] [- f keyfile] ssh-keygen-l [- f input_keyfile] ssh-keygen-B [- f input_keyfile] ssh-keygen-D reader ssh-keygen-F hostname [- f known_hosts_file] ssh-keygen-H [- f known_hosts_file] ssh-keygen-R hostname [- f known_hosts_file] ssh-keygen-U reader [- f input_keyfile] Ssh-keygen-r hostname [- f input_keyfile] [- g] ssh-keygen-G output_file [- v] [- b bits] [- M memory] [- S start_point] ssh-keygen-T output_file-f input_file [- v] [- a num_trials] [- W generator] Common options-b: specify key length -e: read the openssh private key or public key file;-C: add comments;-f: specify the file name to save the key;-I: read the unencrypted ssh-v2-compatible private / public key file and then display the openssh-compatible private / public key on the standard output device;-l: display the fingerprint data of the public key file;-N: provide a new password;-P: provide (old) password;-Q: silent mode -t: specifies the type of key to create. Refer to the example to create a default key
