twisted.conch.client.knownhosts : API documentation

Class	PlainEntry	A `PlainEntry` is a representation of a plain-text entry in a known_hosts file.
Class	UnparsedEntry	`UnparsedEntry` is an entry in a `KnownHostsFile` which can't actually be parsed; therefore it matches no keys and no hosts.
Class	HashedEntry	A `HashedEntry` is a representation of an entry in a known_hosts file where the hostname has been hashed and salted.
Class	KnownHostsFile	A structured representation of an OpenSSH-format ~/.ssh/known_hosts file.
Class	ConsoleUI	A UI object that can ask true/false questions and post notifications on the console, to be used during key verification.
Function	_b64encode	Encode a binary string as base64 with no trailing newline.
Function	_extractCommon	Extract common elements of base64 keys from an entry in a hosts file.
Class	_BaseEntry	Abstract base of both hashed and non-hashed entry objects, since they represent keys and key types the same way.
Function	_hmacedString	Return the SHA-1 HMAC hash of the given key and string.

def _b64encode(s): (source)

Encode a binary string as base64 with no trailing newline.

Parameters	s	The string to encode. (type: `bytes`)
Returns	The base64-encoded string. (type: `bytes`)

def _extractCommon(string): (source)

Extract common elements of base64 keys from an entry in a hosts file.

Parameters	string	A known hosts file entry (a single line). (type: `bytes`)
Returns	a 4-tuple of hostname data (`bytes`), ssh key type (`bytes`), key (`Key`), and comment (`bytes` or `None`). The hostname data is simply the beginning of the line up to the first occurrence of whitespace. (type: `tuple`)

def _hmacedString(key, string): (source)

Return the SHA-1 HMAC hash of the given key and string.

Parameters	key	The HMAC key. (type: `bytes`)
	string	The string to be hashed. (type: `bytes`)
Returns	The keyed hash value. (type: `bytes`)
