How to configure laravel in order to used ssh keys

I'm developing a laravel application and I need to upload some files over ssh.

Until now I've been able to do it suplying an user and password to log into ssh server in the app/config/remote.php file. It looks like this:

'connections' => array(

        'production' => array(
            'host'      => '',
            'username'  => '',
            'password'  => '',
            'key'       => '',
            'keyphrase' => '',
            'root'      => '/var/www',
        ),
                'staging' => array(
                        'host'      => 'localhost',
                        'username'  => 'dhouard',
                        'password'  => 'somepasswordhere',
                        'key'       => '',
                        'keyphrase' => '',
                        'root'      =>  '/home/dhouard',

                ),

    ),

When I do 

SSH::into('staging')->put('somepath/somefile', 'remotepath/remotefile')

The files are uploaded fine. But I need to use a key and a keyphrase but I don't know how to do it.

I googled for a while but I cannot find any tutorial to do this.

Can anyone tell me the steps?.

I was looking around for this as well. Here's what I found to work.

In the key field within the remote.php config file, you're entering the path to your private key.

You could add your SSH key to known hosts on your server which would make you able to ssh into the server without a password.
