Alternatively, you can use python with openssh-key-parser (https://pypi.org/project/openssh-key-parser/) as a command line tool, optionally together with jq (https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) to query the resulting JSON: $ pip install openssh-key-parser ... $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -N secret_passphrase -C my_comment -f test_id_rsa ... $ python -m openssh_key test_id_rsa --passphrase secret_passphrase | jq .header.cipher "aes256-ctr" _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
