Reblogged from SANDEEP'S WEBLOG :
If you have created a SSH key using ssh-keygen and have added the public key in some remote machine or site and you are wondering how you can verify the fingerprint which you are asked to do when you're connecting via ssh for the first time to the remote machine, then you have come to the right place.
I initially thought that the fingerprint is stored in some file and was searching for it in ~/.ssh/ and /etc/ssh/ directories and I was wrong.
