  __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.
