如何在Golang SSH中使用加密的私钥

Question

I would appreciate pointers because I cannot work out how to decrypt an encrypted key in order to use it with golang ssh. I'm attempting to mash together two other sources of code (including this one) but unable to get this to work.

I think I'm getting to a DER but need to marshall this back to PEM in order to use it with crypto/ssh

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: AES-128-CBC,D7C72273BE168626E5B2D1BC72E56326
...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

I read it:

key, err := ioutil.ReadFile(privateKey)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("Unable to read private key: %v", err)
}

With an unencrypted (!) key, I can then:

signer, err := ssh.ParsePrivateKey(key)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("Unable to parse private key: %v", err)
}

config := &ssh.ClientConfig{
    User: username,
    Auth: []ssh.AuthMethod{
        ssh.PublicKeys(signer),
    },
}

And this would work.

I reused some code that I think gets me the decrypted PEM as a DER:

func decrypt(key []byte, password []byte) []byte {
    block, rest := pem.Decode(key)
    if len(rest) > 0 {
        log.Fatalf("Extra data included in key")
    }
    der, err := x509.DecryptPEMBlock(block, password)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Decrypt failed: %v", err)
    }
    return der
}

But, how do I get from the DER to a signer?

Or, what's the best way to solve this?

Answer 1

If you have the DER block with an RSA private key, you use x509.ParsePKCS1PrivateKey to parse the key, and ssh.NewSignerFromKey to get the ssh.Signer

key, err := x509.ParsePKCS1PrivateKey(der)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
signer := ssh.NewSignerFromKey(key)
