Generate Deterministic SSH keys

AME:
  ssh-keydgen - Deterministic authentication key generation

SAGE:
  ssh-keydgen [-t] [-b] [-c] [-n] [-f] [-a]

UTHOR:
  cornfeedhobo

PTIONS:
  -t type      Specifies the type of key to create. The possible values are "dsa", "ecdsa", "rsa", or "ed25519". (default: "ed25519")
  -b bits      Specifies the number of bits in the key to create. Possible values are restricted by key type. (default: 2048)
  -c curve     Specifies the elliptic curve to use. The possible values are 256, 384, or 521. (default: 256)
  -n factor    Specifies the work factor, or "difficulty", applied to the key generation function. (default: 16384)
  -f filename  Specifies the filename of the key file.
  -a           Add the generated key to the running ssh-agent.

Usage

1) Generate your keys

```bash
keydgen -f deterministic_key
ls -lh deterministic_key*
```

2) Allow time to pass, hoping an emergency does not arise when you have no access to your keys …

_If_ the time comes where you need access but can't get to your keys, you can then obtain this
utility and re-generate, or even directly add your key to a running `ssh-agent`.
```bash
keydgen -a
```

3) Profit!

Is it any good?

Yes
