SSH Public Key Inspector
Parse OpenSSH keys, known_hosts entries, and certificates online to view fingerprints, principals, and algorithm metadata without exposing secrets.
The extractor works entirely in your browser. Add multiple keys, private key blocks, or certificate entries and they will all be decoded locally.
How the extractor works
Every key you paste stays inside the browser. The tool tokenises each line, identifies OpenSSH key types, and decodes the binary payload used by authorized_keys, known_hosts, and certificate formats. When you add unencrypted OpenSSH or PKCS#8 private keys, the extractor rebuilds the matching public key using the Web Crypto API without ever streaming data to a server.
After decoding, the payload is inspected to determine algorithm details, modulus length, curve identifiers, FIDO metadata, or certificate principals. Fingerprints are computed with SHA-256, SHA-1, and MD5 digests so duplicate keys are easy to spot. Structured sections—such as certificate critical options or security key flags—are parsed and summarised to highlight expiry windows, enforcement rules, and attestation requirements.
The final view rebuilds canonical OpenSSH lines, preserves any authorized_keys options or host patterns, and surfaces warnings when declarations diverge from embedded data. Copy helpers let you reuse the decoded values elsewhere without manually cleaning or reformatting the original material.
