[-k

[-n
key-name]
[-o
output-file]
[-t
type]
Overview
Read a public key in OpenSSH format and output it in vkey format. The public key is read on stdin and output is written on stdout. Override the default behavior using the -k and -o options.
It is assumed that a vkey for a sigsum log server is requested unless the -n option is provided. I.e., the vkey name defaults to the log's origin line 'sigsum.org/v1/tree/<key hash>' and the ed25519 type (-t).
Use the -n and -t options to encode vkeys for witness cosigning. The best practise is to use a schemaless URL for the name, e.g., foo.example.org and example.org/bar would be two good examples.
