Dim key As New Chilkat.SshKey()

Dim success As Boolean

'  Load an SSH key from an encrypted OpenSSH-formatted private key:
key.Password = "secret"

Dim keyStr As String
'  First load the PEM into a string:
keyStr = key.LoadText("privkey_openssh_encrypted.pem")

'  Import into the SSH key object:
success = key.FromOpenSshPrivateKey(keyStr)
If (success <> true) Then
    MsgBox(key.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  Generate the fingerprint:
Dim fingerprint As String
fingerprint = key.GenFingerprint()

TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & fingerprint & vbCrLf

'  A sample fingerpring looks like this:
'  ssh-dss 2048 d0:5f:f7:d6:49:60:7b:50:19:f4:41:59:d4:1f:61:7a
