Introducing SSPKD

March 13th, 2012

SSPKD is a system to securely distribute your SSH public keys to multiple hosts.

Security is achieved through the use of your GPG key to sign authorized_keys file updates which are verified on each recipient machine before an update to the authorized_keys file takes place.

In the event an invalid signature is presented then the update is not performed, so if your ‘central’ sspkd server was compromised then an attacker would be unable to simply add their sshkey and push it onto all your other hosts.

SSPKD is currently an alpha-release and is available from github: http://github.com/kmdm/sspkd
