Abstract

This document clarifies details of using OpenPGP keys as host keys and user authentication keys in the Secure Shell protocol. Preventing man in the middle attacks is an important part of security, and in many circumstances verifying the authenticity of an OpenPGP key will be easier than verifying the authenticity of an ssh- rsa or ssh-dss key.
