Hi,

Is it possible to add a passphrase to the key that is created with your library?

Regards,

Carl

Yes!

k = SSHKey.generate :passphrase => "foo"

# Return the key encrypted
k.encrypted_private_key

# Return the key unencrypted
k.private_key

You can also load existing encrypted keys with SSHKey.new

I have added docs for this to the project readme as well.
