Key Pair
Two cryptographic keys, public and private, used for secure server access in hosting environments, commonly implemented for SSH logins and authentication.
A key pair is a set of two cryptographic keys used for secure server access. One key is public and stored on the server, while the other is private and kept safely by you. Together, they verify your identity when connecting to a remote server through SSH. This method is far more secure than using passwords because only the correct private key can unlock the connection. Developers use key pairs to manage and automate hosting environments securely. Protecting your private key is crucial, as losing it means losing access to your own server.
