The format information (OpenSSH/PuTTy and private/public) At least one of the information ( or ) has to be contained in the name.If it's not for a specific purpose, remove.If it's not for a specific server, remove.Therefore a possible name scheme could be: id_. pub for public keys, because this file extension is used by Microsoft Publisher and could be interpreted wrong on Windows Systems - there is also an own icon for MS Publisher) and combine it with the convention of PuTTy (. The servername, if it's a server specific keyĪs heavyd mentioned, I think it's really an good idea to stick to the syntax of the ssh-keygen tool.Purposal information if it's (username or taskname for example).The name therefore should contain the following information: ![]() want to use a keypair for only one purpose (purpose could be a user, a service or a task for example).don't want to use the same keypair for several servers. ![]() I don't want to change all keys on all servers, if whatever (maybe some sort of security issue) happens, so I may.I don't want spaces in Linux - even if it's no offical policy) I want the name to be Windows and Unix "compatible/compliant" (e.g.I want the keys to be immediately identifiable and not be able to get mixed up - therefore I want to identify.I want to use OpenSSH and PuTTy keypairs.So I thought to share it with you anyways - maybe it helps someone at least to build his own concept. ppk (PuTTy Private Key) in PuTTy - so this is not a "You have to do it like this", it's rather an idea how a naming concept could look like. I know there is no convention except for. So I thought about some naming concepts and ended up like this now. openssh? Also if there is no convention really, if someone just thought about that and sorted out some sort of concept for himself, I would also appreciate that. I can identify which key is the public and which the private one and that the private one is for PuTTy only.īut what should I do with the private openssh key? Just store it without an extension? Or use something like. ppk to the private and nothing to the public key. So for PuTTy I store both keys with the same name and add. pub, because Microsoft is using this extension already for MS Publisher. ppk for "PuTTy Private Key" and the public key is stored either without an extension, or with. I mean in PuTTy there is a special extension. It seems to be that at least for the public and the private(openssh) keys is no convention at all? And nearly the same time I'm asking myself over and over again, which file extension I should use. ![]() I am using public/private key pairs for a long time now. ![]()
