-	* The type of the key. Currently, this can be ''ssh-rsa'' (an RSA key for use with the SSH-2 protocol), ''ssh-dss'' (a DSA key for use with the %%SSH-2%% protocol), ''ecdsa-sha2-*'' (an ECDSA key for use with the %%SSH-2%% protocol), ''ssh-ed25519'' (an Ed25519 key for use with the %%SSH-2%% protocol), ''ssh-ed448'' (an Ed448 key for use with the SSH-2 protocol), or ''ssh1'' (an RSA key for use with the SSH-1 protocol).	+	* The type of the key.

	* The fingerprint for the public key. This should be the same fingerprint given by [[ui_puttygen\|PuTTYgen]], and also the same fingerprint shown by remote utilities such as ''ssh-keygen'' when applied to your ''authorized_keys'' file. \\ By default this is shown in the SHA-256 format. You can change to the older MD5 format (which looks like ''aa:bb:cc:...'') with the //Fingerprint type// drop-down, but bear in mind that this format is less secure and should be avoided for comparison purposes where possible.		* The fingerprint for the public key.
