SSH (Secure Shell) can carry out authentication using a traditional username and password combination or by using a public and private key pair.
The SSH key pair establishes trust between the client and server, thereby removing the need for a password during authentication. While not required, the SSH private key can be encrypted with a passphrase for added security.
