openssh-rsa-dsa-parse

Simple, fast parsing of OpenSSH RSA and DSA keys to programmatically access key type, length, and and multiple key formats.

Getting Started

npm install openssh-rsa-dsa-parse

Load the module...

var opensshparser = require('openssh-rsa-dsa-parse');

Then load a key...

var newKey = new opensshparser('ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJ[...]');

API

open-ssh-parser(yourkey)

Load and parse an RSA or DSA/DSS OpenSSH key.

• yourkey - (String) RSA or DSA key in the format of ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJ[...] or ssh-dss AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAJ[...]

open-ssh-parser.getKey()

Returns the entire key as a string

open-ssh-parser.getKeyType()

Return the key type as a string (ssh-rsa, ssh-dss, etc.)

open-ssh-parser.getData()

Return the key data as a string

open-ssh-parser.getKeyLength()

Return the key length (modulus) as a number

open-ssh-parser.getComment()

Return the key's comment, if it has one, or null

open-ssh-parser.getByteArray()

Return the entire key as an array of bytes

open-ssh-parser.getSlicedByteArray()

Interprets the key as a repeating pattern of

<4 byte data length specifier><data of specified length>

and returns an array of arrays, with each subarray containing a data chunk as delimited by the above pattern (the length data is discarded).
