-------------------------------------------------------------
The latest code (1.6) contains code that can read _OpenSSH_ files without
_Bouncycastle_. As far as writing them - it is not within the scope of this
project to provide such tools. This project provides a client and a server
written in pure _Java_ along with everything deemed necessary to run them -
reading key files being one such requirement. It is currently not in the
mission statement to provide a fully equivalent toolkit as _OpenSSH_ does - and
this includes writing keys, converting formats, etc...
That being said, we do not prevent/forbid users to use any other 3rd party
library they like to read/write keys if they don't want/like to use
_Bouncycastle_, or (as indicated) the 1.6 version code.
