Everything about Key authentication
Key/Config-authentication is used to solve the problem of authenticating the keys of a person that some other person is talking to or trying to talk to. In other words, it is the process of assuring that the key of "person A", held by "person B", does in fact belong to "person A" and vice versa. Wikipedia →
