The easy way to see if it's already installed
  $ which ssh-keygen
  /usr/bin/ssh-keygen

If no, Cygwin is a bit of a pain when looking for a program that's
included in another package.

There's probably a better way, but I use the cygwin package search - eg:
  https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=ssh-keygen
and then take a guess as the most likely candidate in the results list
and click on that link to see if it's included in that package - eg
  https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=x86_64%2Fopenssh%2Fopenssh-9.5p1-1&grep=ssh-keygen
