public static AsymmetricKeyParameter parsePublicKey(byte[] encoded)
```
    Parse a public key.
    This method accepts the bytes that are Base64 encoded in an OpenSSH public key file.
    
    Parameters:
    
    encoded - The key.
    
    Returns:
    
    An AsymmetricKeyParameter instance.

public static byte[] encodePublicKey(AsymmetricKeyParameter cipherParameters)
                              throws java.io.IOException
```
    Encode a public key from an AsymmetricKeyParameter instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    cipherParameters - The key to encode.
    
    Returns:
    
    the key OpenSSH encoded.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - parsePublicKey
```
public static AsymmetricKeyParameter parsePublicKey(org.bouncycastle.crypto.util.SSHBuffer buffer)
```
    Parse a public key from an SSHBuffer instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    buffer - containing the SSH public key.
    
    Returns:
    
    A CipherParameters instance.
