What Is An SFTP Key?

Updated by John Carl Villanueva on

Overview

What good is an encrypted data transfer if the information it protects still falls into the wrong hands? SFTP security is best known for its ability to encrypt data in transit. But while data-in-motion encryption can secure confidential information as it traverses the network, encryption can't prevent an impostor from carrying out the download himself. For that purpose, you'll want your users to authenticate with the correct password and SFTP key.

In this post, we'll talk about the role of SFTP keys (a.k.a. private keys) in the overall security of the SFTP protocol, how it works, where to use it, and other bits of information regarding this important element of SFTP.
