            Bug ID: 3298
           Summary: Conversion of SSH Ed25519 private key associated to a
                    passphrase into PEM format | 'unsupported key type
                    ED25519'
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 8.5p1
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh-keygen
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: ricky.tigg at gmail.com

OS: Fedora 34; Component: openssh-8.5p1-2.fc34.x86_64

Failed: conversion of SSH private Ed25519 key associated to a
passphrase into PEM format in order to be compatible for use with
OpenSSL.

Prerequisite: Creation of an SSH Ed25519 key pair – using 'ssh-keygen'
– associated to a passphrase.

Task: export file to PEM format:

$ ssh-keygen -e -f id_ed25519 -m pem -out id_ed25519.pem
do_convert_to_pem: unsupported key type ED25519

Reference: Patch providing basic support of Ed25519 keys via PKCS#11
tokens: https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/pull/230

No mention in manual 'man ssh-keygen' regards non-compatibility of
OpenSSH-specific format – RFC4716 – with OpenSSL, i could reasonably
assume that OpenSSL might support it.
