Prakesh, if you look in src/userauth.c, you can see that there's an API
function, libssh2_userauth_publickey, which sort of does what you want. You
would have to write a callback function, analogous to the sign_fromfile()
function in userauth.c, which would do the signature using the private key that
you've generated, rather than loading the private key from a file. You should
be very careful to use good virtual memory hygiene when using private
keys--make sure the private key isn't written to swap, and that it's not
readable by another process.
