Method Detail

loadKeys

Iterable<KeyPair> loadKeys()

Load available keys.

Returns:

an Iterable instance of available keys, never null

loadKey

KeyPair loadKey(String type)

Load a key of the specified type which can be "ssh-rsa", "ssh-dss", or "ecdsa-sha2-nistp{256,384,521}". If there is no key of this type, return null

Parameters:

type - the type of key to load

Returns:

a valid key pair or null

getKeyTypes

Iterable<String> getKeyTypes()

Returns:

The available Iterable key types in preferred order - never null
