Bibek has already said all the necessary steps needed. I am assuming by
authentication key you mean the public key of the package maintainer? You can
use apt-key to get it:
$ sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <fingerprint>;
$ sudo aptitude update;
$ sudo aptitude install <some-package>
Otherwise, if you meant any authentication for accessing the archive, then no
you do not need it(ignore the suggestion of using apt-key above). Mitra has
provided this free of charge to Ubuntu users of Nepal! :)
