    What is so confusing about it, if I may ask? Just make sure you're using a recent enough version of openssh (5.x?). Add a couple of lines to the sshd config file, restart it, and test it

    Show what you've tried, and indicate any tut you've followed.

    It explains how to implement it for Debian
