You create the keys on the workstation that will be logging in to the server. The keys are a pair: a private one, and a public one.

The public "workstation" key has to be copied/inserted to/into the "authorized_keys" file of the account/home directory on the server.

Edit: Also see Howto: Setting up public key password-less 'ssh' access
