Secure Shell Commands

21-23

21

show public-key

This command shows the public key for the specified user or for the host.

Syntax

show public-key [user [username]| host]

username – Name of an SSH user. (Range: 1-8 characters)

Default Setting

Shows all public keys.

Command Mode

Privileged Exec

Command Usage

• If no parameters are entered, all keys are displayed. If the user keyword is

entered, but no user name is specified, then the public keys for all users are
displayed.

• When an RSA key is displayed, the first field indicates the size of the host key

(e.g., 1024), the second field is the encoded public exponent (e.g., 35), and
the last string is the encoded modulus. When a DSA key is displayed, the first
field indicates that the encryption method used by SSH is based on the Digital
Signature Standard (DSS), and the last string is the encoded modulus.

Encryption

The encryption method is automatically negotiated between the client and server.
Options for SSHv1.5 include: DES, 3DES
Options for SSHv2.0 can include different algorithms for the client-to-server (ctos)

and server-to-client (stoc):
aes128-cbc-hmac-sha1

aes192-cbc-hmac-sha1

aes256-cbc-hmac-sha1

3des-cbc-hmac-sha1

blowfish-cbc-hmac-sha1

aes128-cbc-hmac-md5

aes192-cbc-hmac-md5

aes256-cbc-hmac-md5

3des-cbc-hmac-md5

blowfish-cbc-hmac-md5

Terminology:
DES – Data Encryption Standard (56-bit key)

3DES – Triple-DES (Uses three iterations of DES, 112-bit key)

aes – Advanced Encryption Standard (160 or 224-bit key)

blowfish – Blowfish (32-448 bit key)

cbc – cypher-block chaining

sha1 – Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (160-bit hashes)

md5 – Message Digest algorithm number 5 (128-bit hashes)
