SSH Key Fingerprint

See more SSH Key Examples

Generates a fingerprint for an SSH key. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

key = chilkat.CkSshKey()

# Load an SSH key from an encrypted OpenSSH-formatted private key:
key.put_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 != True):
    print(key.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Generate the fingerprint:

fingerprint = key.genFingerprint()

print(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
