Derive private ed25519 SSH key from private PGP key.
GPG itself only supports exporting public SSH keys and other tools don't work for ed25519 keys.
- A tool exists to do this for RSA keys: openpgp2ssh but it does not seem to support
ed25519
keys - Work on
gnupg
was started for this feature, but never finished see this issue and commit: https://dev.gnupg.org/T6647
First you need to export your PGP key from GPG:
❯ gpg2 --export-secret-keys --armor [email protected] >priv-gpg
Then identify the public SSH key that was used to encrypt your secret. You can search for your GitHub username in: https://fluence-dao.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/metadata.json
If you have multiple subkeys, usually it is the authenticate key highlighted with [A]
in the output of:
❯ gpg --list-secret-keys --with-keygrip
❯ go run main.go
It'll ask you for the path to your private PGP key, followed by choosing the key/subkey and if your PGP key is encrypted it'll ask for the passphrase.
In the output, verify that the public SSH key printed matches the one in metadata.json
.
If it matches, the last part of the output it will print the matching private SSH key.
You can save the key to a file and use how you want.
If you want to decrypt a file that was encryptd by age
with your public SSH key, you can just use age
as normal to decrypt the file using the SSH private key that we've got in the previous step:
❯ age --decrypt --identity ./ssh-secret-key --output decrypted ./testfile.txt.age
