[jira] [Comment Edited] (SSHD-758) Add support for Openssh keys

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-758?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16109382#comment-16109382 ]

-------------------------------------------------------------

The latest code (1.6) contains code that can read _OpenSSH_ files without _Bouncycastle_. As far as writing them - it is not within the scope of this project to provide such tools. This project provides a client and a server written in pure _Java_ along with everything deemed necessary to run them - reading key files being one such requirement. It is currently not in the mission statement to provide a fully equivalent toolkit as _OpenSSH_ does - and this includes writing keys, converting formats, etc...

That being said, we do not prevent/forbid users to use any other 3rd party library they like to read/write keys if they don't want/like to use _Bouncycastle_, or (as indicated) the 1.6 version code.

> Karaf has a OpenSSHGeneratorFileKeyProvider since some time. It allows to use ssh keys without Bouncycastle. I think this class is better located directly at mina sshd.
> I will provide a PR.
