METHODS

These object methods are supported: 

 keyName         -- Name of the key, e.g. "fred-default"
 name            -- Shorter version of keyName()
 keyFingerprint  -- Key's fingerprint
 fingerprint     -- Shorter version of keyFingerprint()
 keyMaterial     -- PEM encoded RSA private key (only available when
                    creating a new key)
 privateKey      -- More intuitive version of keyMaterial()

STRING OVERLOADING

When used in a string context, this object will interpolate the keyName.
