Generate keys

SSH requires you to generate a public and a private key. The recommandations are to use the ed25519 algorithm with 100 derivations. The -a specifies the number of iterations to derive the key and make it harder to brut force.

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 [-a <number>] [-f <output_file>] [-C <email>]
