README

An extension for the Armor package that provides functionality for management of public SSH keys.

Installation

Install via Composer with:

composer require apex/armor-sshkeys

Key Manager

One library is included, the Apex\Armor\SshKeys\KeyManager class that contains the following methods:

• array generate(string $uuid, ?string $password = null, bool $save_privkey = false) - Generates a new 4096 bit RSA key, and encodes it to public SSH key. Returns array with two elements, "pubkey" and "privkey".
• void import(string $uuid, string $public_key)
• array getPublic(string $uuid) - Returns array of all public SSH keys assigned to uuid.
• ?string getPrivate(string $uuid, string $password) = Should be avoided, as you shouldn't be storing private keys.
• bool delete(string $uuid, string $public_key)
• int deleteUuid(string $uuid) - Returns number of keys deleted

Basic Usage

use Apex\Armor\Armor;
use Apex\Armor\SshKeys\KeyManager;

// Init Armor
$armor = new Armor();
$manager = new KeyManager($armor);

// Generate
$res = $manager->generate('u:511');
echo "Pvi Key: $res[privkey]\n";
echo "Pub Key: $res[pubkey]\n";
