DESCRIPTION

13       Dropbear and OpenSSH SSH implementations  have  different  private  key
14       formats.  dropbearconvert can convert between the two.
15
16       Dropbear  uses  the  same  SSH  public key format as OpenSSH, it can be
17       extracted from a private key by using dropbearkey -y
18
19       Encrypted private keys are not supported, use ssh-keygen(1) to  decrypt
20       them first.
