.SH DESCRIPTION
|

|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Reads in a public or private key and converts it between different formats,
|

|
|
particularly formats used in the SSH protocol and the well\-known PEM PKCS#1/7
|
||
|
|
formats.

|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||

.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\fC\-i, \-\-identify\fR
|
||
|
|
Instead of converting the key, output identifying information about it to
|
||
|
|
stderr, including its type, size and fingerprints.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\fC\-p, \-\-private\fR
|
||
|
|
Treat the key as a private key instead of a public key (the default). If you
|
||
|
|
supply \fB\fCsshpk\-conv\fR with a private key and do not give this option, it will
|
||
|
|
extract only the public half of the key from it and work with that.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\fC\-f PATH, \-\-file=PATH\fR
|
||
|
|
Input file to take the key from instead of stdin. If a filename is supplied
|
||
|
|
as a positional argument, it is equivalent to using this option.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\fC\-o PATH, \-\-out=PATH\fR
|
||
|
|
Output file name to use instead of stdout.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\fB\fC\-T FORMAT, \-\-informat=FORMAT\fR
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\fC\-t FORMAT, \-\-outformat=FORMAT\fR
|
||
|
|
Selects the input and output formats to be used (see FORMATS, below).
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\fC\-c TEXT, \-\-comment=TEXT\fR
|
||
|
|
Sets the key comment for the output file, if supported.
|
||
|
|
.SH FORMATS
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Currently supported formats:
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\fCpem, pkcs1\fR
|
||
|
|
The standard PEM format used by older OpenSSH and most TLS libraries such as
|
||
|
|
OpenSSL. The classic \fB\fCid_rsa\fR file is usually in this format. It is an ASN.1
|
||
|
|
encoded structure, base64\-encoded and placed between PEM headers.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\fCssh\fR
|
||
|
|
The SSH public key text format (the format of an \fB\fCid_rsa.pub\fR file). A single
|
||
|
|
line, containing 3 space separated parts: the key type, key body and optional
|
||
|
|
key comment.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\fCpkcs8\fR
|
||
|
|
A newer PEM format, usually used only for public keys by TLS libraries such
|
||
|
|
as OpenSSL. The ASN.1 structure is more generic than that of \fB\fCpkcs1\fR\&.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\fCopenssh\fR
|
||
|
|
The new \fB\fCssh\-keygen \-o\fR format from OpenSSH. This can be mistaken for a PEM
|
||
|
|
encoding but is actually an OpenSSH internal format.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\fCrfc4253\fR
|
||
|
|
The internal binary format of keys when sent over the wire in the SSH
|
||
|
|
protocol. This is also the format that the \fB\fCssh\-agent\fR uses in its protocol.
