NAME

Crypt::DSA::GMP::Key::SSH2 - Read/write DSA SSH2 files

SYNOPSIS

use Crypt::DSA::GMP::Key;
my $key = Crypt::DSA::GMP::Key->new( Type => 'SSH2', ...);
$key->write( Type => 'SSH2', ...);

DESCRIPTION

Crypt::DSA::GMP::Key::SSH2 provides an interface for reading and writing DSA SSH2 files, using Data::Buffer, which provides functionality for SSH-compatible binary in/out buffers.

Currently encrypted key files are not supported.

You shouldn't use this module directly. As the SYNOPSIS above suggests, this module should be considered a plugin for Crypt::DSA::GMP::Key, and all access to SSH2 files (reading DSA keys from disk, etc.) should be done through that module.

Read the Crypt::DSA::GMP::Key documentation for more details.

SUBCLASS METHODS

serialize

Returns the appropriate serialization blob of the key.

deserialize

Given an argument hash containing Content and Password, this unpacks the serialized key into the self object.

TODO

This doesn't handle data produced by OpenSSH. To see the data from a DSA key in their format:

cat file.dsa | grep -v -- ----- | tr -d '\n' | base64 -d | \
               openssl asn1parse -inform DER

So we will need Convert::ASN1 to handle this.
