SSH Key Fingerprint

See more SSH Key Examples

Generates a fingerprint for an SSH key. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    let key = CkoSshKey()!

    // Load an SSH key from an encrypted OpenSSH-formatted private key:
    key.password = "secret"

    var keyStr: String?
    // First load the PEM into a string:
    keyStr = key.loadText(path: "privkey_openssh_encrypted.pem")

    // Import into the SSH key object:
    success = key.fromOpenSshPrivateKey(keyStr: keyStr)
    if success != true {
        print("\(key.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Generate the fingerprint:
    var fingerprint: String?
    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
