# edkey

edkey allows you to marshal/write ED25519 private keys in the OpenSSH private key format

## Example

```go

package main

import (

	"crypto/rand"

	"encoding/pem"

	"io/ioutil"

	"github.com/mikesmitty/edkey"

	"golang.org/x/crypto/ed25519"

	"golang.org/x/crypto/ssh"

)

func main() {

	// Generate a new private/public keypair for OpenSSH

	pubKey, privKey, _ := ed25519.GenerateKey(rand.Reader)

	publicKey, _ := ssh.NewPublicKey(pubKey)

	pemKey := &pem.Block{

		Type:  "OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY",

		Bytes: edkey.MarshalED25519PrivateKey(privKey),

	}

	privateKey := pem.EncodeToMemory(pemKey)

	authorizedKey := ssh.MarshalAuthorizedKey(publicKey)

	_ = ioutil.WriteFile("id_ed25519", privateKey, 0600)

	_ = ioutil.WriteFile("id_ed25519.pub", authorizedKey, 0644)

}

```
