An SSHFP (SSH Fingerprint) record is a type of DNS (Domain Name System) resource record that provides a way to associate SSH (Secure Shell) public keys with domain names. It allows clients connecting to an SSH server to validate the server's identity and verify that they are connecting to the actual server they intend to reach, thereby helping to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
