Hi Lohit,
Ssh supports multiple authentication methods, starting from host-based
to key-based. The most secure is key-based authentication, since only
your system holds the key which allows you to login to the ssh server
system, and only you have the passphrase which can unlock that key.
Have a look at the sshd manual for more information.
