As of BOS 10.0.11, BrightSign OS supports trusting SSH authorized public keys. This means that SSH can be used to connect to players using a private key rather than a password. 

Public key authentication can be mixed with password authentication. To disable password authentication, do not set a login password.

Each public key is a space-separated string of the form:

keytype base64-encoded-key optional-comment
