## how to make an ssh key
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

SSH supports a handful of types of cryptographic keys. The most used are [RSA](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem)>) and the more modern [Ed25519](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EdDSA#Ed25519).

|
|

|
|
|
|
RSA is the de-facto standard and is supported everywhere (just choose a big enough key like 4096bits to be secure). Ed25519 is designed to be faster and smaller withouth sacrificing security, so is best suited for embedded devices or machines with low resources. It's supported on tilde (and really on anymodern system) but you may find older systems which do not support it.

Below you'll find instructions to generate either type (or both if you want).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind that these instructions leave your private keys unencrypted in your local hard disk. So keep them private; never share them.
|
|
|
|
|
A good solution is to provide a password for them at creation time, but this implies entering a password any time you used them (impractical) or use something like [ssh-agent](https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent.1) (a bit more complex)

We don't have documentation for this [(yet)](https://tildegit.org/team/site/src/branch/master/wiki) so either go with no password keys, or ask on IRC ([#team](https://web.tilde.chat/?join=team)) for help.
