   The basic encryption algorithms may be the same, but the usage is a little   
   different. SSH has no concept of “certificates”, only of “host keys”   
   versus “user keys”. Each key is of course actually a key pair, consisting   
   of a public key (freely redistributable, but recipients need to be sure   
   they get them from a trusted source) and a corresponding private key   
   (never to be disclosed to anybody else).   
      
   There is a file in your SSH client config called “known_hosts”, which   
   contains the public host keys of all the hosts you’ve previously connected   
   to; this is used to guard against somebody trying to impersonate any of   
   those hosts when you next try to connect.
