SSH Key Fingerprint

See more SSH Key Examples

Generates a fingerprint for an SSH key. Go

    success := false

    key := chilkat.NewSshKey()

    // Load an SSH key from an encrypted OpenSSH-formatted private key:
    key.SetPassword("secret")

    var keyStr *string = new(string)
    // First load the PEM into a string:
    keyStr = key.LoadText("privkey_openssh_encrypted.pem")

    // Import into the SSH key object:
    success = key.FromOpenSshPrivateKey(*keyStr)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(key.LastErrorText())
        key.DisposeSshKey()
        return
    }

    // Generate the fingerprint:
    var fingerprint *string = new(string)
    fingerprint = key.GenFingerprint()

    fmt.Println(*fingerprint)

    // A sample fingerpring looks like this:
    // ssh-dss 2048 d0:5f:f7:d6:49:60:7b:50:19:f4:41:59:d4:1f:61:7

    key.DisposeSshKey()
