How to Generate a Public/Private KeyPair for Use With Solaris Secure Shell
Users must generate a public/private key pair when their site implementshost-based authentication or user public-key authentication. For additionaloptions, see the ssh-keygen(1) manpage.
Before You Begin
Encrypt Module¶ pycoin.ecdsa.encrypt.generatesharedpublickey (myprivatekey, theirpublicpair, generator) source ¶ Two parties each generate a private key and share their public key with the other party over an insecure channel. The shared public key can. DiffieHellman, Elgamal, ECDSA & STS with elliptic curve in python - roddhjav/ecurve. GitHub is home to over 40 million developers working together to host and review code, manage projects, and build software together. Generate an ECDSA key pair: key as private and key.pub as public key. I need to sign a hash of 256 bits with ECDSA using a private key of 256 bits, just as bitcoin does, and I am reaching desperation because of the lack of documentation of ecdsa in python.
Determine from your system administrator if host-based authenticationis configured.
- Start the key generation program.where -t is the type of algorithm, one of rsa, dsa, or rsa1.
- Specify the path to the file that will hold the key.Bydefault, the file name id_rsa, which represents an RSAv2 key, appears in parentheses. You can select this file by pressing the Return key. Or, you can type an alternative file name.The file name of the public key is created automatically by appendingthe string .pub to the name of the private key file.
- Type a passphrase for using your key.This passphraseis used for encrypting your private key. A null entry is stronglydiscouraged. Note that the passphrase is not displayed when youtype it in.
- Retype the passphrase to confirm it.
- Check the results.Check that the path to the keyfile is correct.At this point, you have created a public/private key pair.
- Choose the appropriate option:
- If your administrator has configuredhost-based authentication, you might need to copy the local host's publickey to the remote host.You can now log in to the remote host.For details, see How to Log In to a Remote Host With Solaris Secure Shell.
- Type the command on one line with no backslash.
- When you are prompted, supply your login password.
- If your site uses user authentication with public keys, populateyour authorized_keys file on the remote host.
- Copy your public key to the remote host.Type thecommand on one line with no backslash.
- When you are prompted, supply your login password.Whenthe file is copied, the message “Key copied” is displayed.
- (Optional) Reduce the prompting for passphrases.For a procedure, see How to Reduce Password Prompts in Solaris Secure Shell. For more information, see the ssh-agent(1) and ssh-add(1) man pages.
Example 19–2 Establishing a v1 RSA Key for a User
In the following example, the user cancontact hosts that run v1 of the Solaris Secure Shell protocol. To be authenticated by v1hosts, the user creates a v1 key, then copies the public key portion to theremote host.
