NAME

Convert::SSH2::Format::PKCS8 - Format SSH key data as PKCS8

PURPOSE

This module formats SSH2 RSA public keys as PKCS8 strings.

These look like

  -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
  ... Base64 data ...
  -----END PUBLIC KEY-----

Generally, you shouldn't instantiate this class on its own. It will be called by Convert::SSH2 when needed.

            NULL
        }
        BIT STRING {
            RSAPublicKey ::= SEQUENCE {
                modulus           INTEGER,  -- n
                publicExponent    INTEGER   -- e
            }
        }
    }
