SSH public-key authentication relies on asymmetric cryptographic algorithms that generate a pair of separate keys (i.e., a key pair), one 'private' and the other 'public'. You keep the private key a secret and store it on the computer you use to connect to the remote system. Conceivably, you can share the public key with anyone without compromising the private key; you store it on the remote system in a.ssh/authorized_keys directory.

The information in this document assumes the remote system uses OpenSSH, which is generally the case for central systems at Indiana University.
