Accepting a new host key
Before accepting the new host keys, the user should use a secure
method to verify that the host key corresponds to the actual server.
When a Secure Shell server host key is created, a unique fingerprint
is also generated. This fingerprint is a human-readable cryptographic
hash that can be used to verify the authenticity of the key being
presented by the server to the client. Methods for verifying host
keys, including using the host key's fingerprint, are discussed
on the next page.
