See man ssh_config
Code:
     IdentityFile
	     Specifies a file from which the user's DSA, ECDSA or DSA authentication identity is
	     read. [..]

     StrictHostKeyChecking
	     If this flag is set to ``yes'', ssh(1) will never automatically add host keys to the
	     ~/.ssh/known_hosts file, and refuses to connect to hosts whose host key has changed.[..]
