## About
Pure Rust implementation of SSH key file format decoders/encoders as described
in [RFC4253] and [RFC4716] as well as OpenSSH's [PROTOCOL.key] format specification
and `authorized_keys` files.
## Features
- [x] Constant-time Base64 decoding/encoding using the `base64ct` crate
- [x] `no_std` support including support for "heapless" (no-`alloc`) targets
- [x] Decoding/encoding OpenSSH-formatted public & private keys:
- [x] DSA (`no_std` + `alloc`)
- [x] ECDSA (`no_std` "heapless")
- [x] Ed25519 (`no_std` "heapless")
- [x] RSA (`no_std` + `alloc`)
- [x] Fingerprint support (SHA-256 only)
- [x] Parsing `authorized_keys` files
- [x] Built-in zeroize support for private keys
#### TODO
- [ ] Encrypted private key support
- [ ] SSH certificate support
- [ ] Legacy SSH key (pre-OpenSSH) format support
- [ ] Integrations with other RustCrypto crates (e.g. `ecdsa`, `ed25519`, `rsa`)
- [ ] FIDO2 key support
## Minimum Supported Rust Version
This crate requires **Rust 1.57** at a minimum.
We may change the MSRV in the future, but it will be accompanied by a minor
version bump.
