Below you’ll find the individual steps to secure your SSH connection to a server using a certificate (SSH key).

1. Create an SSH Key

Open the terminal on your Mac (or Linux system) and run the following command to generate an SSH key pair:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "deine_email@example.com"

• The -t ed25519 parameter specifies ED25519 as the encryption algorithm.
• The -C "your_email@example.com" adds a comment, such as your email address, to the key.
