SSH (Secure Shell) using RSA key is a secure way of logging into a remote machine over an unsecured network. It uses a public/private key pair to authenticate the user and encrypts the data during the session using symmetric encryption. An RSA key is generated based on a mathematical algorithm that produces a public and private key pair. The public key can be shared freely, while the private key must be kept confidential. Once the connection is established, the server sends its public key to the client, which verifies it against a list of known hosts. When a match is found, the client uses the public key to generate an encryption key that encrypts information transmitted between the two systems.
