Functions

func LocalKeyPair

func LocalKeyPair(bits int) (private, public []byte, err error)

LocalKeyPair returns bits formatted for a local ssh key pair (id_rsa, id_rsa.pub - AuthorizedKey format)

func PrivateAndPublicKeyBytes

func PrivateAndPublicKeyBytes(bits int) ([]byte, []byte, error)

PrivateAndPublicKeyBytes takes a privateKey and returns the private and public key bytes, the public key bytes are in the wire format protocol

func ReadLocalPublicKey

func ReadLocalPublicKey(pubPath string) (out ssh.PublicKey, comment string, options []string, rest []byte, err error)

ReadLocalPublicKey reads a local path for a public key stored in the AuthorizedKeys format

func SaveNewKeyPair

func SaveNewKeyPair(privPath, pubPath string, bits int) error

SaveNewKeyPair generates a new key and saves private and public keys to a local path with the given bit
