private key validation

[ioagel]

Can you implement private key validation for rsa, ecdsa, ed25519 keys?

Hi Ioannis,

Are you referring to authentication with a private key, or validating the content of a key string?

Thanks,

Checking if the private key string is valid as an OpenSSH Accepted Key Type, before storing/using it to make the ssh connection.
I think NMSSH does not implement this functionality. From the Android side I am completely clueless!

Hi Ioannis,

I didn't find any method in NMSSH and JSch (on Android) that implements this functionality either. Maybe it'd be easier to do some simple regex check on Flutter side.

Thanks,
Qian
