About SSH Keys SSH keys provide a more secure way of logging into a Ubiquiti AirOS device with SSH than using a password alone. While a password can eventually be cracked with a brute force attack, SSH keys are nearly impossible to decipher by brute force alone.

You can place the public key on any server, and then unlock it by connecting to it with a client that already has the private key. When the two match up, the system unlocks without the need for a password. You can increase security even more by protecting the private key with a passphrase. Step One—Create the RSA Key Pair The first step is to create the key pair on the Aircontrol Server machine (OR it be your computer): ssh-keygen -t rsa
