Openssh Public Key From Private



If you already own an SSH private key but somehow lost your public key, you can regenerate the public key using PuTTYGen (PuTTY Key Generator) if you're using Windows.

PuTTYGen supports both ppk (PuTTY Private Key) and OpenSSH private key format thus you can regenerate the public key for both file formats using PuTTYGen.

Steps to generate SSH public key from existing private key using Puttygen:

  1. Download PuTTY Key Generator (puttygen.exe) from the official website and launch the program.
  2. Click on the Load button on the lower right of the program.
  3. Select your private SSH key from where it is locally stored in your system.

    PuTTYGen by default filters the file type to just display .ppk format. Click on the select list on the lower right and choose All Files to load files of OpenSSH format.

  4. Manually copy the public key displayed on PuTTYGen to a text editor and save it to a file to use it on OpenSSH authorized_key file for passwordless login.
  5. Select the location and file name of the public key and click on Save.

Openssh Public Key From Private Library

To generate public (e,n) key from the private key using openssl you can use the following command: openssl rsa -in private.pem -out public.pem -pubout To dissect the contents of the private.pem private RSA key generated by the openssl command above run the following (output truncated to labels here). You need your SSH public key and you will need your ssh private key. Keys can be generated with ssh-keygen. The private key must be kept on Server 1 and the public key must be stored on Server 2. This is completly described in the manpage of openssh, so I will quote a lot of it. To generate the missing public key again from the private key, the following command will generate the public key of the private key provided with the -f option. $ ssh-keygen -y -f /.ssh/idrsa /.ssh/idrsa.pub Enter passphrase: The -y option will read a private SSH key file and prints an SSH public key to stdout. The public key part is redirected to the file with the same name as the private. PuTTYGen supports both ppk (PuTTY Private Key) and OpenSSH private key format thus you can regenerate the public key for both file formats using PuTTYGen. Steps to generate SSH public key from existing private key using Puttygen: Download PuTTY Key. If you just want to share the private key, the OpenSSL key generated by your example command is stored in private.pem, and it should already be in PEM format compatible with (recent) OpenSSH. To extract an OpenSSH compatible public key from it, you can just run: ssh-keygen -f private.pem -y private.pub.
