When using authentication based on keys (as opposed to a password), you have to create the key pair—a private key and a public key—on your local machine, then transfer the public key to the server and install it there. Here is how to do this on a Windows desktop for remote access to a Linux server.
Your users want to access a web server instance as a staging or production environment for DevOps… They want access to the web server document root of the sites they manage. Your job is to maintain the integrity of the whole system in terms of cyber security.

In a research paper titled “Majority is not Enough: Bitcoin Mining is Vulnerable“, Professor Emin Gün Sirer and Dr. Ittay Eyal of the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University, revealed the Selfish Mining attack on Bitcoin’s blockchain back in 2014.
In this interview, Professor Sirer and Dr. Ittay Eyal demystify Bitcoin and other crypto currencies and provide a first glimpse into the blockchain revolution.
The interview was conducted by Anna E Kobylinska with contribution by Filipe Martins.
If you are running Linux kernel 3.6 or newer, anyone in the world on a network that allows IP spoofing can hijack your encrypted communications in less than a minute, with a success rate of 90%.
