# The private key should have read and write permissions only for the user and no other permissions for the group and others.
# You should change the permission using the chmod command:
$ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
# Similarly, the public key shouldn’t have write and execute permissions for group and other.
$ chmod 644 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
