OpenSshPublicKey class Null safety

Represents the OpenSSH Public Key format.

This format supports a single optional comment, but no other properties.

The text encoding consists of a single line containing: the key-type, base-64 encoded binary representation, and an optional comment.

The binary representation contains a number of chunks of data, depending on the encryption algorithm. The first chunk is always a duplicate copy of the key-type.

This class is used for the binary representation of both this OpenSSH public key format and the bit string inside of the SSH Public Key File Format. The SshPublicKey class implements the encoding and decoding of that second format.

Example

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDJnryCPo8...a1Ad user@example.com

This is a proprietary format. It is largely undocumented, except partially in the "Authorized_keys file format" section of OpenSSH's sshd man page.

This implementation does not support options. It will fail to decode lines that contain public keys with options.
