SSH Private Keys are used to authenticate connections between a client and a server. They provide secure access to systems over an unsecured network by encrypting traffic between the two endpoints. A private key must be kept secure, and is only known to the user and the server. It is comprised of a long string of random characters that are provided by the server during the authentication process.
