Last night I wrote a simple wrapper around ssh-keygen with (in)sane
defaults[1], since every time I need to create an SSH key, I go through
my bash history to remember what were the parameters I used before.<p>While writing it, it got me thinking: is there any sort of best
practices for naming these keys, especially when you connect to many
servers, and services using it?<p>Right now I just make silly references — e.g., the key I use for a
server that I log in with username Moss, is called "The Internet Key",
as an IT Crowd reference —, and for the wrapper, I used a random suffix,
and prefix generated with apg[2].<p>So, what do you folks use as a naming convention? If you were to
generate keys for your customers, for example, what would you name them?<p>[1] https://git.sr.ht/~jamesponddotco/dotfiles/tree/master/.local/bin/gen-ssh-key<p>[2] https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man1/apg.1.html
