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 or

 

 

 

an HTTPS connection.

 

 

 

Note: You can upload keys that have up to 2048-bit key length.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 be used. Choices are:

 

 

 

RSA = use this key with SSH1 and SSH2 protocols.

 

 

 

DSA = use this key with the SSH2 protocol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Create New Keys

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Key Type

 

Select a key type to be used for the new key. Choices are:

 

 

 

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. Choices are:

 

 

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

1 minute for a 768-bit RSA key

2 minutes for a 1024-bit RSA key

2 minutes for a 512-bit DSA key

10 minutes for a 768-bit DSA key

15 minutes for a 1024-bit DSA key

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