| | Ok, lets start with something easy! :) What are SSH keys: SSH keys are a way to allow someone access to a user on another system without the need for a password. This is done with 2 key files one that is public and the other private. This is called "Public-key cryptography". The public key will be sent to the server that you want to connect to and the private will stay on your local (orclient) system.

| | If you log into your Raspberry Pi using ssh it will prompt you for a password. Having to do this multiple times a days this is very annoying. To ease the pain, and enhance security, you can use public key authentication instead. Therefor you create a pair of keys on your client, and store the public key on your Raspberry Pi. Then you set up an authentication by key. Afterwards the user can login into the Raspberry Pi using his private key.

| | It is common practice among Linux users to exchange ssh keys between machines so that you can ssh between them without having to authenticate. The manual process for doing this involves taking the public key of the local host (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub or ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub) and appending it to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file of the remote host you wish to log in without a password. This process is simple, but requires a few different steps.
