Certificate-based host authentication can be a very attractive alternative in large organizations. It allows device authentication keys to be rotated and managed conveniently and every connection to be secured. One of the unique features of SSH is that by default, it trusts and remembers the host's key when first connecting to it.
This was a key differentiator that allowed SSH to be deployed grass-roots, as there was no centralized key infrastructure for hosts in , and still isn't today , with exemption of SSL certificates for web servers. The resulting ease of deployment was one of the main reasons SSH became successful. As long as host keys don't change, this appoach is very easy to use and provides fairly good security.
However, in large organization and when the keys change, maintaining known hosts files can become very time-consuming. Using certificates for host keys is recommended in that case. Tectia SSH supports standard X.
OpenSSH has its own proprietary certificate format. The advantage of standard-based certificates is that they can be issued by any certificate authority CA , whereas no reliable CAs exist for OpenSSH keys. See the dedicated page on certificates with SSH for more information. A session key in SSH is an encryption key used for encrypting the bulk of the data in a connection.
The session key is negotiated during the connection and then used with a symmetric encryption algorithm and a message authentication code algorithm to protect the data.
For more information, see the separate page on session keys. Key based authentication in SSH is called public key authentication. It is easy to configure by end users in the default configuration. On the other hand, security-conscious organizations need to establish clear policies for provisioning and terminating key-based access. Typically a system administrator would first create a key using ssh-keygen and then install it as an authorized key on a server using the ssh-copy-id tool.
See also the dedicated page on configuring authorized keys for OpenSSH. We recommend using passphrases for all identity keys used for interactive access. In principle we recommend using passphrases for automated access as well, but this is often not practical. SSH comes with a program called ssh-agent , which can hold user's decrypted private keys in memory and use them to authenticate logins.
See the documentation for ssh-agent on how to set it up. The connection to the SSH agent can be forwarded to a server, so that single sign-on also works from that server onwards. That feature should be used with care, as it allows a compromised server to use the user's credentials from the original agent. Agent forwarding can, however, be a major convenience feature for power users in less security critical environments. The default key sizes used by the ssh-keygen tool are generally of acceptable strength.
In fact, since the protocol never reveals the public keys that are acceptable for user authentication, the algorithms used for the keys are not as critical as they are in, for example, PKI certificates.
For RSA keys, bits is probably a good choice today There is just no practical benefit from using smaller keys.
