If someone can obtain both keys, they can impersonate this host. Private keys are like really important passwords and have to be kept safe.

When you look closely at the key files, you will see that the private keys can only be read by root, no other users. These keys are generated on every host, when the ssh server process starts for the first time. Usually the client and the server will negotiate which keys to use from the available options. The other keys are present for compatibility with other platforms and older versions of macOS/OS X. pub extension.ĮCDSA ( Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm – Wikipedia) is the default type of key ssh uses on macOS. There two files for every type, the private key (no file extension) and the public key, with the. On my Sierra Mac there are keys for dsa, ecdsa, rsa and ed25519. The key filenames have the format ssh_host_ABC_key where ABC is the key encryption type. On macOS the host keys are stored in /private/etc/ssh/ along with some other files required for ssh configuration. To verify, you would need obtain the fingerprint from the host though some other means and compare. Using this fingerprint, you can verify that the DNS address or IP you are connecting to, is really the computer you want to connect to. The key fingerprint the system displays on first connection is a ‘hash’ of the public key. This is convenient, but opens the chance for malicious computer to impersonate the host you actually want to reach and set itself as a ‘man in the middle’, passing data back and forth and decrypting it in between. When you connect for the first the remote host will send its public key to your computer. This way data can be kept secure between the client and the host. The first part of the key is private and kept securely on the ssh host (the remote computer you want to log in to) and the second part is public and shared to the users who want to connect.ĭata encrypted with one key can be decrypted with the other and vice versa. It uses a two part encryption key to encode the data transmitted. This is what ssh uses to encrypt traffic.

However, this is a crucial part of the ssh infrastructure and understanding it will help you use ssh securely and to its full potential. We encountered a cryptic prompt (pun intended) when connecting to the machine for the first time: The authenticity of host ' (IP address)' can't be established.ĮCDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:abcdefghhijklmonpqrstuvwxyz.Īre you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?Īt that point we just wanted to connect and ignored this prompt. We briefly mentioned ssh is securely encrypted. In the earlier post, we talked about basic ssh setup and use. Please consider supporting Scripting OS X by buying one of my books!
