Dropbear uses the same SSH public key format as OpenSSH, it can be ex- tracted from a private key by using dropbearkey -y Encrypted private keys are not supported, use ssh-keygen(1) to decrypt them first. ARGUMENTS input_type Either dropbear or openssh output_type Either dropbear or openssh input_file An existing Dropbear or OpenSSH private key file output_file The path to write the converted private key file. For client au- thentication ~/.ssh/id_dropbear is loaded by default SUPPORTED FORMATS dropbearconvert can read OpenSSH format files, and older PEM format files ( ssh-keygen -m PEM ). dropbearconvert will write OpenSSH format files, usable with OpenSSH 6.5 and later. Reading OpenSSH format DSS files or PKCS8 files is not currently supported. EXAMPLE # dropbearconvert openssh dropbear ~/.ssh/id_rsa ~/.ssh/id_dropbear AUTHOR Matt Johnston (matt@ucc.asn.au).
