SSH Key still works even after I swapped some strings in it and transferred it to another computer. Why?
I transferred my ssh keys from my laptop to another computer and applied the correct permissions.
I swapped the last 3 letters from PKU= to UKP= but I am still able to ssh without a problem.
The reason I'm doing this is because I'm storing the key in my github secret gist and if ever someone obtains access to it it would still fail since they need to swap some letters.
