# Crypt::DSA::Key::SSH2(3pm)

Read/write DSA SSH2 files

## NAME

Crypt::DSA::Key::SSH2 - Read/write DSA SSH2 files

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Crypt::DSA::Key;
    my $key = Crypt::DSA::Key->new( Type => 'SSH2', ...);
    $key->write( Type => 'SSH2', ...);
```

## DESCRIPTION

*Crypt::DSA::Key::SSH2* provides an interface to reading and writing DSA SSH2 files, using *Data::Buffer*, which provides functionality for SSH-compatible binary in/out buffers.

Currently encrypted key files are not supported.

You shouldn't use this module directly. As the SYNOPSIS above suggests, this module should be considered a plugin for *Crypt::DSA::Key*, and all access to SSH2 files (reading DSA keys from disk, etc.) should be done through that module.

Read the *Crypt::DSA::Key* documentation for more details.
