RSA to PEM
First create an RSA key using OpenSSH tools:
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
Then converted it to PEM format:
$ openssl rsa -in ~/.ssh/id_rsa -outform pem > id_rsa.pem
DSA to PEM
First create an DSA key using OpenSSH tools:
$ ssh-keygen -t dsa
Then converted it to PEM format:
$ openssl dsa -in ~/.ssh/id_dsa -outform pem > id_dsa.pem
$ openssl dsa -in ~/.ssh/id_dsa -outform pem > id_dsa.pem
ReplyDelete$ diff id_dsa id_dsa.pem
The files are identical?
No, the files won't be identical
DeleteThe files are indeed identical. Just tried your example step for step.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are identical because the default output format for openssl is PEM.
