Using openSSH

1. log in on your Linux client

2. generate a new key pair using the command ssh-keygen

support@cryptshare:~> ssh-keygen 
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/support/.ssh/id_rsa): 
Created directory '/home/support/.ssh'.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): 
Enter same passphrase again: 
Your identification has been saved in /home/support/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/support/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:Iz98CDNWeL47PUJg7Q+wD70wHLZKT0Lir4JoG5w3CDQ support@cryptshare
The key's randomart image is:
