👉 It's a Unix command used to manage an SSH key file on remote systems. It's crucial for securely connecting to servers and managing sensitive data. The specific details depend heavily upon the Linux distribution you're using, but it typically includes the following components:
1.
KeyPath
: A path where you store your private keys.
2.
KeyFile
: The path to your SSH key file.
3.
Mode
: A command specifying how to encrypt the file (e.g., "aes-256-cbc" for AES-256-bit encryption, "rsa-sha256" for RSA with SHA-256 hashing).
4.
PasswordFile
: The path where you store your password.
The key is typically encrypted using a symmetric algorithm such as AES, ensuring it can only be decrypted by the same key or through decryption software.
Understanding this command often helps in securing SSH connections, especially when dealing with sensitive data and applications that require secure communication.
