Net::DNS::RR::SSHFP3pm

algorithm

        $algorithm = $rr->algorithm;
        $rr->algorithm( $algorithm );

The 8-bit algorithm number describes the algorithm used to construct the public key.

fptype

        $fptype = $rr->fptype;
        $rr->fptype( $fptype );

The 8-bit fingerprint type number describes the message-digest algorithm used to calculate the fingerprint of the public key.

fingerprint

fp

        $fp = $rr->fp;
        $rr->fp( $fp );

Hexadecimal representation of the fingerprint digest.

fpbin

        $fpbin = $rr->fpbin;
        $rr->fpbin( $fpbin );

Returns opaque octet string representing the fingerprint digest.

babble

        print $rr->babble;

The babble() method returns the 'BabbleBubble' representation of the fingerprint if the Digest::BubbleBabble package is available, otherwise an empty string is returned.

Bubble babble represents a message digest as a string of "real" words, to make the fingerprint easier to remember. The "words" are not necessarily real words, but they look more like words than a string of hex characters.

Bubble babble fingerprinting is used by the SSH2 suite (and consequently by Net::SSH::Perl, the Perl SSH implementation) to display easy-to-remember key fingerprints.

The 'BubbleBabble' string is appended as a comment when the string method is called.
