authorized_keys file is simply a copy of the public key for that device. If one or more devices will be
clients of the server, then the authorized_keys file will contain a copy of all of the public keys. RSA and
DSA keys may be freely mixed in the authorized_keys file. For example, assume we already have one
server, called bridge_server, and two sets of keys, for the control_room and the plant_entrance:
$ ls /home/user/keys control_room control_room.pub plant_entrance plant_entrance.pub $ cat
/home/user/keys/control_room.pub /home/user/keys/plant_entrance.pub >
/home/user/keys/authorized_keys_bridge_server

15.6.5 Generating public/private keys for SSH (Windows)
This section describes how to generate and configure SSH keys using Windows.
First create a new user from the Black Box Management (the following example uses a user called
"testuser") making sure it is a member of the "users" group.
If you do not already have a public/private key pair you can generate them now using ssh-keygen,
PuTTYgen or a similar tool:
