  SSH is a common system allowing a shell (command interpreter) to be utilized over a secure relationship. By protected, here, after all that the link is secured, authenticated and integrity examined. The security stops enemies reading the contents of the data being sent, the validation allows both the client and the server to be sure that they are linked to the other, and not to some intermediate process in a man-in-the-middle attack, and the integrity checking ensures that the data is not being changed during transit. Together, these three functions provide a secure connection.
  
  Nevertheless, the password based login element directs your password through this link, to the remote server, where it is hashed and compared with the value in-the password file.

To many, despite the fact that the bond is secured, this is simply not satisfactory. SSH allows the utilization of public key authentication to login to your machine. Here, you distribute your public key to the machine, and keep your private key on the client device, optionally password protected so that no-one can take your private key file and use it to get access without a password.
  
  Now, if the SSH link is established, the server should always check the authorization of the client; that is, make sure it's you working in. This was previously done by seeking your password, and comparing it contrary to the stored password hash. Get more about anaesthetic practice management by visiting our witty paper. Now, the server encrypts a randomly generated token against your public key, and sends this for you. The private key associated with your public key, stored in a file to which only you've access, either by password safety, filesystem permissions or other means, may be the only key in a position to decrypt this message. Now, your SSH consumer will decrypt the message and send it back to the machine, which compares it against the original price. In reality, the validation is often also tested in the opposite direction, using the servers public key, which may be located by the client. After the server knows you contain the private key which corresponds to the public key, it allows you access.
  
  Therefore, you might ask, what is the safety benefit here? Well, no secret information is being carried. You're not transmitting a password, nor are you transmitting all of your private key file. You're using the keys to encrypt and decrypt a bit of random data, which works one time only. Anyone who did somehow manage to listen in with this data flow wouldn't be able to restore entry by playing back your password, or even by playing back the same data transaction, being a different value would be protected the next time you login, and only the personal key itself can decrypt that.

  Public Key authentication is supported in PuTTY, and also in OpenSSH and many other SSH methods. Check your methods documentation for information on how-to use public-key based logins.
