Why does PuTTY use its own private key format when log into SSH server?

Just a little bit curious, why PuTTY use its own v开发者_开发知识库ersion of private key format to do SSH?


The author of PuTTY gives two main reasons for having the custom key format on this page.

In short:

  • PuTTY's format stores the public half of the key in plaintext, which allows PuTTY to send the public key to the server automatically.

  • The key is fully tamperproofed with the help of a Message Authentication Code.
