From 'man ssh'
ssh implements the RSA authentication protocol automatically.
The user creates his/her RSA key pair by running ssh-keygen(1). This
stores the private key in $HOME/.ssh/identity and the public key in
$HOME/.ssh/identity.pub in the user's home directory. The user should
then copy the identity.pub to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys in his/her home
directory on the remote machine (the authorized_keys file corresponds to
the conventional $HOME/.rhosts file, and has one key per line, though
the lines can be very long). After this, the user can log in without
giving the password. RSA authentication is much more secure than rhosts
authentication.
