ssh-keygen-pro

SSH keygen helper script to generate professional-quality keys.

Syntax:

sh ssh-keygen-pro [user_identifier] [system_identifier] [unique_identifier] [algorithm_identifier]

Example that prompts you:

sh ssh-keygen-pro

Example that uses args:

sh ssh-keygen-pro alice@example.com host.example.com 8af247255f409533f43c14cae2c07b97 ed25519

The output is 4 files:

  • A key with a passphrase
    • A public key file
    • A private key file
  • A key without a passphrase, suitable for automation
    • A public key file
    • A private key file

Install

Option 1: download the file to wherever you want, then make it executable.

sh cd /usr/local/bin/ sudo curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SixArm/ssh-keygen-pro/master/ssh-keygen-pro sudo chmod +x ssh-keygen-pro

Option 2: clone the repo to anywhere you want, then add it to your path.

sh cd /anywhere/you/want git clone https://github.com/SixArm/ssh-keygen-pro export PATH="$PATH:/anywhere/you/want/ssh-keygen-pro"

If you would like to help us by writing a package for any popular package manager, such as apt, yum, brew, etc., we wecome help.

Details

Typical usage:

  • The user identifer is your email address e.g. "alice@example.com"
  • The system identifier is your host name e.g. "demo.example.com"
  • The unique identifer is a ZID e.g. "8af247255f409533f43c14cae2c07b97"
  • The algorithm identifier, either "ed25519" or "rsa".

Example with args:

ssh-keygen-pro alice@example.com host.example.com 8af247255f409533f43c14cae2c07b97 ed25519

Output file naming convention:

  • useridentifer=systemidentifer=uniqueidentifer=automation=ided25519
  • useridentifer=systemidentifer=uniqueidentifer=automation=ided25519.pub
  • useridentifer=systemidentifer=uniqueidentifer=passphrase=ided25519
  • useridentifer=systemidentifer=uniqueidentifer=passphrase=ided25519.pub

Output file examples:

  • alice@example.com=host.example.com=8af247255f409533f43c14cae2c07b97=automation=id_ed25519
  • alice@example.com=host.example.com=8af247255f409533f43c14cae2c07b97=automation=id_ed25519.pub
  • alice@example.com=host.example.com=8af247255f409533f43c14cae2c07b97=passphrase=id_ed25519
  • alice@example.com=host.example.com=8af247255f409533f43c14cae2c07b97=passphrase=id_ed25519.pub

Reasoning

SSH options:

  • Type: use the Ed25519 algorithm because it's the most secure.
  • Bits: If RSA, then use 4096 bits because it's stronger than default 2048.
  • Generate two keys, one for automation and one with a passphrase.

Inputs:

  • Use the email address, so a user's keys sort together.
  • Use the host identifier, so a user's machine keys sort together.
  • Generate an ZID, akin to a UUID4 with only letters and numbers.

Output file name convention:

  • Separate items by using an equal sign, because it's not in email adddresses.
