I agree that the problem would be similar though writing out a public key in OpenSSH format might be easier as presumably there are more code examples for this "homebrew"*) format - and thanks, Michael, I might have a look at PuttyGen's sources... *) omitting rant about comparison with RSA and their homebrewn PKCS standards...
