XK0-006 · Question #80
A newly hired Linux administrator needs to grant access to the Linux servers by generating a password-protected RSA key of 4096 bytes. Which of the following commands will accomplish this task?
The correct answer is B. ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096. The ssh-keygen command is used to generate SSH key pairs. To generate an RSA key with a length of 4096 bits, the correct syntax is: -t rsa: Specifies the type of key to generate, which is RSA. -b 4096: Specifies the number of bits for the key, in this case 4096. By running this…

Explanation
The ssh-keygen command is used to generate SSH key pairs. To generate an RSA key with a length of 4096 bits, the correct syntax is: -t rsa: Specifies the type of key to generate, which is RSA. -b 4096: Specifies the number of bits for the key, in this case 4096. By running this command, the user will be prompted to enter a passphrase to password-protect the key, which satisfies the requirement for generating a password-protected RSA key of 4096
