rsa public key??

Jul 6th, 2007

hey guys, it's my first post!!!!

Anyways, I was accepted by IBM for a Linux shell account. To activate and login to it, as part of the process, i need to enter my "RSA-shh public key"...
I know what RSA is, but how would I obtain my "rsa-ssh-public key??" I checked RSA's website, but couldn't find it there..... Help Please?????

You need to generate it. Some program such as rsa-keygen or such can generate a public/private key pair for you. Then you send the public key to whomever is on the other end, so that you can form an encrypted connection.
