Basically, I want to ditch non-portable, closed SecureCRT and start using PuTTY. I've got a bunch of SSH2 public keys in SecureCRT format.
I would like to import the SSH2 public keys into the putty.reg file. Any method to do this would be easier than reverifying everyone's fingerprints.
If the key on the remote computer is in the form of:
ssh-dss {public key all on one line}
then, SecureCRT simply reformats it like this:
---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
{public key from above, wrapped 68 characters per line}
---- END SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
It appears PuTTY converts it to hexadecimal and stores that in the putty.reg file. Either that is incorrect, or PuTTY is doing some additional steps, however, because the beginning of a key might be "AAAA" but the value PuTTY uses does not have similar repetition at the beginning...
If someone has some guidelines for these conversions, that should be all I need. The solution is ultimately in the PuTTY source code, but I'm not that smart... 
Thanks.
