I found out that WinSCP save into registry(I found WinSCP, but it is under Martin Prikryl) too, but Im dont understand the format this value. The value is following:

0x23,0xa84b4ec03da8bb69c796d0aa04ed00dacd70921822f905a9358d372eef888f86ceeb204

Can you explain me what does mean 0x23. This is some system information? Is the key this sequence a84b4ec.....? And the 0x means hexadecimal value. Do I understand it rightly?

Because when I will add public keys to trusted public keys (for example in Linux), so I need to know this keys. If is the value which I wrote (a84b4ec0...) public key then my problem is solve.

Do you mean known_hosts file? I do not think it uses the same format.

Yes I mean known_hosts file... I want get public key from registry (Windows) to known_hosts file (Linux). ...the same format? Public key in registry is plain text, isn't?

With RSA (your case), the first shorter 0xXXX part is exponent, the second longer part 0xXXX is modulus.

So that will not easy import this public key (exponent and modulus) to known_hosts file, because the "registry format" is not the same format like in known_hosts file.
Thanks for your answer.
