Upload Keys

 

 

 

Private Key

Enter the path and name of the existing private key you want

 

to upload or use the Browse button to select the key. Be sure

 

the private key will not be compromised in transit. This

 

implies the data is uploaded over some kind of secure private

 

network.

 

 

Public Key

Enter the path and name of the existing public key you want

 

to upload or use the Browse button to select the key.

 

 

Key Type

Select a key type to use:

 

RSA = use this key with SSH1 and SSH2 protocols.

 

DSA = use this key with the SSH2 protocol.

Key Type

Select a key type to use for the new key:

 

RSA = use this key with the SSH1 and SSH2 protocols.

 

DSA = use this key with the SSH2 protocol.

 

 

Bit Size

Select a bit length for the new key:

 

512

 

768

 

1024

 

Using a larger bit size takes more time to generate the key.

 

Approximate times are:

 

10 seconds for a 512 bit RSA Key

 

15 seconds for a 768 bit RSA Key

 

1 minute for a 1024 bit RSA key

 

30 seconds for a 512 bit DSA key

 

1 minute for a 768 bit DSA key

 

2 minutes for a 1024 bit DSA key

Some SSH clients require RSA host keys to be at least 1024 bits long.
