func GenerateKey ¶

func GenerateKey(comment string) ([]byte, error)

GenerateKey will generate an OpenSSH ECDSA private key using the P-256 elliptic curve.

The resulting key is returned as a byte slice in OpenSSH PEM format.

func ParseKey ¶

func ParseKey(pemBytes []byte) (*ecdsa.PrivateKey, error)

ParseKey will parse the provided byte slice (in OpenSSH ECDSA Private Key format) and return an *ecdsa.PrivateKey.

Any parsing errors will result in a nil *ecdsa.PrivateKey returned along with the error.

Only ECDSA format private keys are supported by this function.
