I have SSH public key (generated on my Mac) in OpenSSH format like this:

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDXaDj1YGcvKIhUIgmjV/Mjz8so5O2tdxG9gVlTwCxuFLjcUOsciB5R+hZ28GZtb9tb0p4ZSGd8bLcUnI/tqFlVBfRKhfixbvJlDJkzh1eqzqjgCz7Sgd7vo/9pX4FNmajcdt4nsgMI0Q0NLZOWF0M90gTAkcpfCVyt561IIrHK0MpWPqQbp917X8hfRH23sgo8B471FhN6j3ghS18OcAG8LSzCQ5IjJzyqzRRYLpYVdGVyrqNKV0wBOP7dzmZAcpit4XCtRIESKdQGzPCMcctgh2doBPwFyP1AUcTCrq5skZgik6RjaJAlCm3rxPs0bJDGInWEg0lTnTc7hEmV4tf3 nameofthekey

And I need to convert to PKCS#1 in HEX with this formatting:

30818602 8180E6B0 25E45C19 54F3DBAD D41C79BF 2054F2C9

C5D64786 377B7426 2B5AA315 41C70201 25

and put in in my Huawei OLT terminal for SSH RSA key access.

Thank you.

The format is consistent with ASN.1 containing a sequence (30) of length 0x86 (80 86) containing an integer (02) of length 0x80 (81 80) followed by an integer (02) of length 1 (01). This is a plausible RSA public key.

Assuming that the SSH key is in a file id_rsa.pub, you can convert it to the desired format with

ssh-keygen -f /dev/stdin -e -m PKCS8 -f id_rsa.pub |

openssl pkey -pubin -outform DER |

od -t x1 -An -w4 |

tr 'a-f' 'A-F' |

tr -d ' ' |

fmt -w 54

(Why so complicated? Because.)

I spent one night and I found this solution:

OpenSSH public key must be converted to PKCS#1 PEM-encoded public key that is in base64:

ssh-keygen -f id_rsa.pub -e -m pem

Next, use base64 to HEX converter like this: http://tomeko.net/online_tools/base64.php?lang=en

Enter string without begin and end mark

-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----

-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----

to converter and click convert

For example:

You enter this into converter:

MIIBCgKCAQEA12g49WBnLyiIVCIJo1fzI8/LKOTtrXcRvYFZU8AsbhS43FDrHIgeUfh2dvBmbW/bW9KeGUhnfGy3FJyP7ahZVQX0SoX4sW7yZQyZM4dXqs6o4As+0oHe76P/aV+BTZmo3HbeJ7IDCNENDS2TMhdDPdIEwJHKXwlcreetSCKxytDKVj6kG6fde1/IX0R9t7IKPAeO9RYTeo94IUtfDnABvC0swkxSIyc8qs0UWC6WFXRlcq6jSldMATj+3c5mQHKYreFwrUSBEinUBszwjHHLYIdnaAT8Bcj9QFHEwS6ubJGYIpOkY2iQJQpt68T7NGyQxiJ1hIGJU503O4RJleLV9wIDAQAB

And you get this:

For network equipment like Huawei GPON OLT or switches or Juniper you must little edit output to groups of 8 characters in 6 colnums like this: (via text editor add classic spaces and line breaks)

Now you can put this RSA public key in to console, save, assign RSA key to user and you can now login with your SSH private key.

Gilles's recipe is brilliant but it didn't make to my huawei switches 5720

but it does work after a little modification

ssh-keygen -e -m pem -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | 

egrep -v  "BEGIN|END" | base64 -d | 

od -t x1 -An -w4 | tr 'a-f' 'A-F' | tr -d ' ' | fmt -w 72

Hope it helps someone
