Re: Forbid connexions when no passphrase

> Hi all !

Short answer: No. the passphrase is not transmitted across the network but is used locally to access the private key. THis is good because the passphrase is completely unrelated to any network traffic. But it means you cannot completley ignore a "what you have and what you know" security solution using passphrase-protected public keys.
