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