Calculates the OpenSSH fingerprint of a public key. This value should match what you get to see when connecting with SSH to a server. Note that some other systems might use a different algorithm to derive a (different) fingerprint for the same keypair.
fingerprint(key, hashfun = sha256)a public or private key
which hash function to use to calculate the fingerprint
mykey <- rsa_keygen()
pubkey <- as.list(mykey)$pubkey
fingerprint(mykey)
fingerprint(pubkey)
# Some systems use other hash functions
fingerprint(pubkey, sha1)
fingerprint(pubkey, sha256)
# Other key types
fingerprint(dsa_keygen())
