            AgentKey

Private key held in a local SSH agent. This type of key can be used for authenticating to a remote server (signing). Most other key operations work as expected.
Method Summary
  __init__(self, agent, blob)
str __str__(self)
Return a string of an SSH Message made up of the public part(s) of this key.
str get_name(self)
Return the name of this private key implementation.
Message sign_ssh_data(self, randpool, data)
Sign a blob of data with this private key, and return a Message representing an SSH signature message.
    Inherited from PKey
int __cmp__(self, other)
Compare this key to another.
str _read_private_key_file(self, tag, filename, password)
Read an SSH2-format private key file, looking for a string of the type "BEGIN xxx PRIVATE KEY" for some xxx, base64-decode the text we find, and return it as a string.
  _write_private_key_file(self, tag, filename, data, password)
Write an SSH2-format private key file in a form that can be read by paramiko or openssh.
bool can_sign(self)
Return True if this key has the private part necessary for signing data.
PKey from_private_key_file(cl, filename, password)
Create a key object by reading a private key file. (Class method)
str get_base64(self)
Return a base64 string containing the public part of this key.
int get_bits(self)
Return the number of significant bits in this key.
str get_fingerprint(self)
Return an MD5 fingerprint of the public part of this key.
boolean verify_ssh_sig(self, data, msg)
Given a blob of data, and an SSH message representing a signature of that data, verify that it was signed with this key.
  write_private_key_file(self, filename, password)
Write private key contents into a file.
    Inherited from object
  __delattr__(...)
x.__delattr__('name') <==> del x.name
  __getattribute__(...)
x.__getattribute__('name') <==> x.name
  __hash__(x)
x.__hash__() <==> hash(x)
  __new__(T, S, ...)
T.__new__(S, ...) -> a new object with type S, a subtype of T
  __reduce__(...)
helper for pickle
  __reduce_ex__(...)
helper for pickle
  __repr__(x)
x.__repr__() <==> repr(x)
  __setattr__(...)
x.__setattr__('name', value) <==> x.name = value

Instance Method Details

__str__(self)
(Informal representation operator)

Return a string of an SSH Message made up of the public part(s) of this key. This string is suitable for passing to __init__ to re-create the key object later.
Returns:
string representation of an SSH key message.
           (type=str)
Overrides:
paramiko.PKey.__str__ (inherited documentation)

get_name(self)

Return the name of this private key implementation.
Returns:
name of this private key type, in SSH terminology (for example, "ssh-rsa").
           (type=str)
Overrides:
paramiko.PKey.get_name (inherited documentation)

sign_ssh_data(self, randpool, data)

Sign a blob of data with this private key, and return a Message representing an SSH signature message.
Parameters:
randpool - a secure random number generator.
           (type=Crypto.Util.randpool.RandomPool)
data - the data to sign.
           (type=str)
Returns:
an SSH signature message.
           (type=Message)
Overrides:
paramiko.PKey.sign_ssh_data (inherited documentation)
