Thanks for posting this — it’s super-interesting. It seems as though it’s more about authenticating the server rather than the user, unless I read it wrong? The setup process looks a bit crazy, so I’m hoping it’s gotten easier since 2014? I would love to test it out, but life is too short for the process they’ve outlined...

You are correct. > The setup process looks a bit crazy, so I’m hoping it’s gotten easier since 2014? I don't think I used that in uni, so I can't tell you how complicated it was. It's just a nice didactic article that I found explained all the details. In practice in 2021, you run a sshfp script on the server, and publish the output of the script on your DNS by adding a key. If you use scripted DNS, it's a one step process, if not, a 2 step process.
