Which two are true?

User jack logs in to host solar in and issues the following command:
jack@solaris:-$ ls .ssh

id_dsa id_dsa.pub id_rsa id_rsa.pub known_hosts authorized_keys
Which two are true?

User jack logs in to host solar in and issues the following command:
jack@solaris:-$ ls .ssh

id_dsa id_dsa.pub id_rsa id_rsa.pub known_hosts authorized_keys
Which two are true?

A.
The id_rsa file contains the private key for rhosts-based host authentication.

B.
The id_dsa.pub file contains the Digital Signature Algorithm public key for the user jack.

C.
The id_rsa.pub file contains the Rivest Shamir Adelman public key for the host solaris.

D.
The authorized_keys file contains the private keys of remote users authorized to access jack�s
account on solaris.

E.
The known_hosts file contains the verified public keys of remote hosts known to be trusted.

Explanation:
A: You will see two files starting with id_rsa. id_rsa is the private key and id_rsa.pub
is public key.
E: The .ssh/known_hosts file
In order to use public-key secure connection with other hosts (ssh, scp, sftp) there is a special
directory, ~/.ssh/, where passphrases and public keys are stored. Normally you wouldn’t need to
know the gory details, but from time to time a host will change its public key and then you have
difficulty using ssh or scp with that host, and have to edit a file named known_hosts.
If you try to ssh to another computer, but get an error message that warns about a changed or
incorrect public key, then it is probably just a case of that host changing its public key. (It is
possible, though usually not the case, that malicious hacking is involved.) Unless you actually
suspect hacker involvement, you can edit the file ~/.ssh/known_hosts using your usual text editor
(vi, emacs, nedit, or pico) and delete any line with the name of that host.
Then when you try to ssh that host again, it will be like the first time ever; ssh will ask you if you
want to accept a new public key, you type the whole word yes, and everything will proceed
normally from there.
Here is what a typical ~/.ssh/known_hosts file might contain. Note that newton is represented on
two different lines:

A is wrong. rhost-based uses this authentication method:

User account (Local Host)
Local host public key in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa1_key

User account (Remote Host)
Local host public key in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts or ~/.ssh/known_hosts

—-
B is correct. RSA or DSA public key uses this authentication method:

User account (Local Host)
User’s public key in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub or ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub

User account (Remote Host)
User’s public key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

—-
C is wrong as shown above, ‘id_rsa.pub’, true contains public key but it is user’s account not host.

—-
D is wrong as shown above, ‘authorized_keys’ are used on Remote host and contains a user’s public key not private key.

—-
E is correct. host-based uses this authentication method:

User account (Remote Host)
Local host public key in /etc/ssh/known_hosts or ~/.ssh/known_hosts

—-

Agree with the answers B & E.
