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:

ssh1    1024 22:c3:68:3b:09:41:36:c3:39:83:91:ae:71:b2:0f:04 k1
ssh-rsa 1023 74:63:08:82:95:75:e1:7c:33:31:bb:cb:00:c0:89:8b 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), or ssh-dss (a DSA 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.
