When using public/private keys for authentication, after the initial steps of generating the keys and sending the appropriate key to the server, what happens after you connect to the server?

What will be an ideal response?


When you connect to the server, your client generates a signature using its private key and sends it to the server. The server then checks the signature with its copy of the public key, and if everything checks out, you will be authenticated with the server.
