Thread: GPG & SSH Keys

can give me short description of difference between gpg , ssh keys?

also, possible combine 2 keys? meaning can use 1 key both applications?

client ssh keys used authenticate server. (the ssh server has own pair of keys uses authenticate clients.)

gpg keys used authenticate message digital signature, or act key decrypting messages you.

ssh , gpg separate programs not depend on each other or interact in normal use. both keep own keyrings.

might possible convert gpg key equivalent ssh key or vice versa, conversion isn't in way standard or particularly useful, , mistakes in conversion possibly give away private keys.

there's no real need try use same key both. if want people know gpg (public) key absolutely sure of ssh (public) key is, can sign public message (like on webserver) stating ssh key , name gpg key.
