Solution

The correct command to verify the authenticity of an SSH public key, ensuring that it belongs to the expected user is:

c. ssh-keygen -lf ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Here's why:

a. ssh-keygen -lf ~/.ssh/authorized_keys: This command would list the fingerprint of all keys in the authorized_keys file, not verify a specific public key.

b. ssh-keyscan user@remote_host: This command fetches the public key of the remote_host, it doesn't verify a specific public key.

c. ssh-keygen -lf ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub: This command will display the fingerprint of the public key id_rsa.pub. You can then compare this fingerprint with the one you have received from the expected user to verify its authenticity.

d. ssh-keygen -lf ~/.ssh/known_hosts: This command

This problem has been solved
