[improvement] support openssh format privkey #199

Closed kmahyyg closed 4 years ago

kmahyyg commented 5 years ago

since ed25519 is much more recommended now, can this app support ed25519 algo. private key? the default key of ed25519 is saved in openssh format instead of pem.

As an alternative to adding support for OpenSSH format, the wiki page Key-based-ssh-Authentication could be updated to show how OpenSSH keys can be converted to PEM:

ssh-keygen -p -f ~/.ssh/some_key_file -m PEM

(mosh-chrome currently does not warn/error if it cannot read the key format.)
