Describe how you would do this. Include in your answer a copy of one of your private keys. Note: you are to do this on your local machine, e.g. in virtualbox, and not in AWS. Password authenঞcaঞon is the default method most SSH (Secure Shell) clients use to authenঞcate with remote servers, but it suffers from potenঞal security vulnerabiliঞes, like brute-force login a‚empts. An alternaঞve to password authenঞcaঞon is public key authenࢼcaࢼon, in which you generate and store on your computer a pair of cryptographic keys and then configure your server to recognize and accept your keys. Using key-based authenঞcaঞon offers a range of benefits: Key-based login is not a major target for brute-force hacking a‚acks. If a server that uses SSH keys is compromised by a hacker, no authorizaঞon credenঞals are at risk of being exposed. Because a password isn’t required at login, you are able to able to log in to servers from within scripts or automaঞon tools that you need to run una‚ended. For example, you can set up periodic updates for your servers with a configuraঞon management tool like Ansible, and you can run those updates without having to be physically present. </> Question 26 0 pts 12pt Paragraph 8/9/2020 Quiz: ITN 170 Linux Admin Summer 2020 Final Study Guide 12/15 p span 83 words What is the logrotate utility and how is it used?
