Package sshkey provides Go handling of OpenSSH keys. It handles RSA
|
|
(protocol 2 only) and ECDSA keys, and aims to provide interoperability
|
|
between OpenSSH and Go programs.
|
|
|
|
The package can import public and private keys using the LoadPublicKey
|
|
and LoadPrivateKey functions; the LoadPublicKeyFile and LoadPrivateKeyfile
|
|
functions are wrappers around these functions to load the key from
|
|
a file. For example:
|
|
|
|
// true tells LoadPublicKey to load the file locally; if false, it
|
|
// will try to load the key over HTTP.
|
|
pub, err := LoadPublicKeyFile("/home/user/.ssh/id_ecdsa.pub", true)
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
fmt.Println(err.Error())
|
|
return
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
In this example, the ECDSA key is in pub.Key. In order to be used in functions
|
|
that require a *ecdsa.PublicKey type, it must be typecast:
|
|
|
|
ecpub := pub.Key.(*ecdsa.PublicKey)
|
|
|
|
The SSHPublicKey can be marshalled to OpenSSH format by using
|
|
MarshalPublicKey.
|
|
|
|
The package also provides support for generating new keys. The
|
|
GenerateSSHKey function can be used to generate a new key in the
|
|
appropriate Go package format (e.g. *ecdsa.PrivateKey). This key
|
|
can be marshalled into a PEM-encoded OpenSSH key using the
|
|
MarshalPrivate function.
