Like that the future friend_backup_ynh will be able to add a friend's yunohost easily, just by domain name.
Do you mean the public key should be queryable publicly by anyone, therefore we could have something like "authorize_friend_to_backup his.domain.tld" which fetch the public key ?

Looks a bit like a duplicated/compliment of https://dev.yunohost.org/issues/175

That's not the same problematic.
The purpose here, is to be able to have a "friend server" system. For instance, if you want to enable some friend server to put his backup on your server, you want to allow it to connect to your server using a SSH key. That's not the same thing as you (as a person / laptop) willing to connect to your yunohost instance.

In order to have a friend to friend API (and an easy remote backup feature) we need a mechanism to authenticate a friend server.
The mechanism should be simple and easy to use.
Note: For the backup we need to exchange some data between server to operate first remote backup.
