Generates a fingerprint for an SSH key. PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

$key = New-Object Chilkat.SshKey

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

# 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 -ne $true) {
    $($key.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Generate the fingerprint:

$fingerprint = $key.GenFingerprint()

$($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
