t.c.c.k.HashedEntry(_BaseEntry) : class documentation

A HashedEntry is a representation of an entry in a known_hosts file where the hostname has been hashed and salted.

Instance Variables	_hostSalt	the salt to combine with a hostname for hashing.
	_hostHash	the hashed representation of the hostname.
Class Variables	MAGIC	the 'hash magic' string used to identify a hashed line in a known_hosts file as opposed to a plaintext one.

Method	__init__	Undocumented
Class Method	fromString	Load a hashed entry from a string representing a line in a known_hosts file.
Method	matchesHost	Implement `IKnownHostEntry.matchesHost` to compare the hash of the input to the stored hash.
Method	toString	Implement `IKnownHostEntry.toString` by base64-encoding the salt, host hash, and key.

Inherited from _BaseEntry:

Method

Check to see if this entry matches a given key object.

def __init__(self, hostSalt, hostHash, keyType, publicKey, comment): (source)

Undocumented

@classmethod
def fromString(cls, string): (source)

Load a hashed entry from a string representing a line in a known_hosts file.

Raises	DecodeError	if the key, the hostname, or the is not valid encoded as valid base64
	InvalidEntry	if the entry does not have the right number of elements and is therefore invalid, or the host/hash portion contains more items than just the host and hash.
	BadKeyError	if the key, once decoded from base64, is not actually an SSH key.

def matchesHost(self, hostname): (source)

Implement IKnownHostEntry.matchesHost to compare the hash of the input to the stored hash.

def toString(self): (source)

Implement IKnownHostEntry.toString by base64-encoding the salt, host hash, and key.
