Putty Tool | Generate Keys

Hello Friends,

Welcome to AWELSTECH. Let's see how to create keys from puttygen.
Ref: https://www.ssh.com/ssh/putty/windows...

PuTTYgen is a key generator tool for creating SSH keys for PuTTY. The basic function is to create public and private key pairs. PuTTY stores keys in its own format in .ppk files. PuTTYgen.exe on Windows is a graphical tool.

To create a new key pair, select the type of key to generate from the bottom of the screen (using SSH-2 RSA with 2048 bit key size is good for most people; another good well-known alternative is ECDSA).

Then click Generate, and start moving the mouse within the Window. Putty uses mouse movements to collect randomness. The exact way you are going to move your mouse cannot be predicted by an external attacker. You may need to move the mouse for some time, depending on the size of your key. As you move it, the green progress bar should advance.

Once the progress bar becomes full, the actual key generation computation takes place. This may take from several seconds to several minutes. When complete, the public key should appear in the Window. You can now specify a passphrase for the key.

You should save at least the private key by clicking Save private key. It may be advisable to also save the public key, though it can be later regenerated by loading the private key (by clicking Load).
