If creating new probes from an image, is it sufficient to make each probe generate its own encryption keys, or are there other files that need to change?

If you build the debian package, then you can install that as many times 
as you like.

Probes are indeed identified by their public keys.

We are working on an API. However, the only thing the API will do is to 
copy the public key to the atlas backend systems. You still have go to 
the web size, log in, etc. We want to associate a user with each probe.
