Speaker: Mike Lovell SSH Public Keys are a very common way to control access to systems. They make authentication easy and more secure than using passwords. Unfortunately, there are some issues with the most common ways that Keys are used at scale. Deployment of Keys for each user on a large number of systems can be a headache. This almost encourages Keys to have a long lifespan. Keys are usually only used as a simple Yes or No for authentication. SSH Certificates are a way to improve the Deployment and Policy aspects of Systems Administration. They were introduced several years ago but are still not in wide spread use. We will explore what SSH Certificates are, how to use them, and some tooling to make using them even easier. Just go in the front doors, and follow the signs. We're usually in a conference in the back of the main floor. http://plug.org/uvu has directions and a map /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
