SSH Key Fingerprint

Generates a fingerprint for an SSH key. Unicode C++

#include <CkSshKeyW.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    CkSshKeyW key;

    // Load an SSH key from an encrypted OpenSSH-formatted private key:
    key.put_Password(L"secret");

    const wchar_t *keyStr = 0;
    // First load the PEM into a string:
    keyStr = key.loadText(L"privkey_openssh_encrypted.pem");

    // Import into the SSH key object:
    success = key.FromOpenSshPrivateKey(keyStr);
    if (success != true) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",key.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    // Generate the fingerprint:
    const wchar_t *fingerprint = 0;
    fingerprint = key.genFingerprint();

    wprintf(L"%s\n",fingerprint);

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