This is the line from my known_hosts file:

localhost ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAAE2VjZHNhLXNoYTItbmlzdHAyNTYAAAAIbmlzdHAyNTYAAABBBGLjt53s7cviWnVVVWd+/5azv9TCNS2CyNPlsu81gutKfKs2uU8U5IseukeCbGN1ATRhW2khBm1oycowNPh7R08= localhost:22

This code returns: Err(CouldNotReadKey):

thrussh_keys::parse_public_key_base64("AAAAE2VjZHNhLXNoYTItbmlzdHAyNTYAAAAIbmlzdHAyNTYAAABBBGLjt53s7cviWnVVVWd+/5azv9TCNS2CyNPlsu81gutKfKs2uU8U5IseukeCbGN1ATRhW2khBm1oycowNPh7R08=")

Indeed, ECDSA keys aren’t handled by Thrussh yet. Thanks for the report!

Are there any plans to also support ECDSA keys? That’s the one thing currently keeping us from using the library (We need a utility to verify SSH server signatures, and without support for all keys that are in use, it’s kinda mood using a tool :/ )

No plans at the moment from me, unfortunately, but I’m totally open to contributions, and am willing to mentor people.
