Constructor Details
- OpenSSHPrivateKeySpec
  
  public OpenSSHPrivateKeySpec(byte[] encodedKey)
  
  Accept an encoded key and determine the format.
  The encoded key should be the Base64 decoded blob between the "---BEGIN and ---END" markers. This constructor will endeavour to find the OpenSSH format magic value. If it can not then it will default to ASN.1. It does not attempt to validate the ASN.1
  Example: OpenSSHPrivateKeySpec privSpec = new OpenSSHPrivateKeySpec(rawPriv);
  KeyFactory kpf = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA", "BC"); PrivateKey prk = kpf.generatePrivate(privSpec);
  OpenSSHPrivateKeySpec rcPrivateSpec = kpf.getKeySpec(prk, OpenSSHPrivateKeySpec.class);
  
  Parameters:
  
  encodedKey - The encoded key.
Method Details
- getFormat
  
  public String getFormat()
  
  Return the format, either OpenSSH for the OpenSSH propriety format or ASN.1.
  
  Specified by:
  
  getFormat in class EncodedKeySpec
  
  Returns:
  
  the format OpenSSH or ASN.1
