Why? The asymmetric cryptography employed by SSH is there
precisely to /not/ have multiple “secrets” on the side of the
party being authenticated.
The authentication systems based on symmetric cryptography (say,
Kerberos), indeed, require the authenticated party to have a
distinct shared secret for each of the “authentication realms”
(say, Kerberos realms) it belongs to
