Method Detail

decodeSSH2PublicKey

public static SshPublicKey decodeSSH2PublicKey(byte[] encoded)
                                        throws java.io.IOException

Decode an SSH2 encoded public key as specified in the SSH2 transport protocol. This consists of a String identifier specifying the algorithm of the public key and the remaining data is formatted depending upon the public key type. The supported key types are as follows:

 ssh-rsa is encoded as
 String        "ssh-rsa"
 BigInteger    e
 BigInteger    n

 ssh-dsa is encoded as
 String        "ssh-dsa"
 BigInteger    p
 BigInteger    q
 BigItneger    g
 BigInteger    y
 

Parameters:

encoded -

Returns:

SshPublicKey

Throws:

java.io.IOException

parse

public static SshPublicKeyFile parse(byte[] formattedkey)
                              throws java.io.IOException

Parse a formatted public key and return a file representation.

Parameters:

formattedkey -

Returns:

SshPublicKeyFile

Throws:

java.io.IOException

parse

public static SshPublicKeyFile parse(java.io.InputStream in)
                              throws java.io.IOException

Parse a formatted key from an InputStream and return a file representation.

Parameters:

in -

Returns:

SshPublicKeyFile
