This is howto generate a key:
From the shell prompt, type "ssh-keygen" with the desired parameters:
Usage: ssh-keygen [-lpqxXydc] [-b bits] [-f file] [-C comment] [-N new-pass] [-P pass]

[pranalukas@gmx.de]$ ssh-keygen -b 1024 -C "This is a comment"
Generating RSA keys:
........................ooooooO.....ooooooO
Key generation complete.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/prana/.ssh/identity):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (use a lengthy passphrase)
Enter same passphrase again:  (re-enter your passphrase here)
Your identification has been saved in /home/prana/.ssh/identity.
Your public key has been saved in /home/prana/.ssh/identity.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
14:e9:46:1e:00:a7:f6:20:d4:0d:af:84:74:b0:72:32 pranalukas@gmx.de

Bits. Specifiy the length of the key in bits, for example: 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384 bits . 1024 is sufficient.

Passphrase. Specify the passphrase that you want to use. Choose a good paraphrase: something that other people can't guess but it's easy to remember. A good paraphrase is 10-30 characters, not a simple sentence and/or easily guessable.
