             Summary: Utility method to export KeyPair in OpenSSH format
                 Key: SSHD-984
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-984
             Project: MINA SSHD
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 2.4.0
            Reporter: David Ostrovsky


There are ongoing efforts in Gerrit Code Review and JGit projects to remove 
dependency on JSch library: [1], [2]. Instead, MINA SSSD should be used on 
both: client and server sides.

One difficulty we are facing is the fact the MINA SSHD currently doesn't 
provide any means to export generated KeyPair in OpenSSH format.

Thomas Wolf added recently the ability to read encrypted OpenSSH private keys 
in context of SSHD-708.

With JSch this code would do the job:
{code:java}
  public static com.jcraft.jsch.KeyPair genSshKey() throws JSchException {
    JSch jsch = new JSch();
    return KeyPair.genKeyPair(jsch, KeyPair.ECDSA, 256);
  }

  public static String publicKey(com.jcraft.jsch.KeyPair sshKey, @Nullable 
String comment)
      throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
    ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    sshKey.writePublicKey(out, comment);
    return out.toString(US_ASCII.name()).trim();
  }

  public static byte[] privateKey(com.jcraft.jsch.KeyPair keyPair) {
    ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    keyPair.writePrivateKey(out);
    return out.toByteArray();
  }
{code}
