9.2.1 The key list box

The large list box in the Pageant main window lists the private keys that are currently loaded into Pageant. The list might look something like this:

ssh-rsa 2048 22:d6:69:c9:22:51:ac:cb:b9:15:67:47:f7:65:6d:d7 k1
ssh-dss 2048 e4:6c:69:f3:4f:fc:cf:fc:96:c0:88:34:a7:1e:59:d7 k2

For each key, the list box will tell you:

• The type of the key. Currently, this can be ssh1 (an RSA key for use with the SSH-1 protocol), ssh-rsa (an RSA key for use with the SSH-2 protocol), ssh-dss (a DSA key for use with the SSH-2 protocol), ecdsa-sha2-* (an ECDSA key for use with the SSH-2 protocol), or ssh-ed25519 (an Ed25519 key for use with the SSH-2 protocol).
• The size (in bits) of the key.
• The fingerprint for the public key. This should be the same fingerprint given by PuTTYgen, and (hopefully) also the same fingerprint shown by remote utilities such as ssh-keygen when applied to your authorized_keys file.
• The comment attached to the key.
