That key request page returns[*] the IFF Public Key (IFFkey file) which is
host specific; that is, you can only use this key for NTP Authentication
with the ntpd on the host you got it from (in this case: ntp.isc.org).

If you wish to use NTP Authentication you must obtain the Identity
Scheme Paramters (e.g. the IFF Public Key) from each time server with
which you wish to have an authenticated association.
