# `SshFingerprint` type

Fingerprint The security of the SSH protocols relies on the verification of public host keys. Since public keys tend to be very large, it is difficult for a human to verify an entire host key. Even with a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) in place, it is useful to have a standard for exchanging short fingerprints of public keys.

The fingerprint of a public key consists of the output of the MD5 message-digest algorithm [RFC1321]. The input to the algorithm is the public key data as specified by [RFC4253]. (This is the same data that is base64 encoded to form the body of the public key file.)

The output of the algorithm is presented to the user as a sequence of 16 octets printed as hexadecimal with lowercase letters and separated by colons.

## Fields

| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| `raw` - [`String!`](https://wartiva.com/api-docs/types/string.html) | Raw SSH Fingerprint |
| `encryption` - [`String!`](https://wartiva.com/api-docs/types/string.html) | Fingerprint encryption |

## Used by

- [`SSH`](https://wartiva.com/api-docs/types/ssh.html) type: Secure Shell (SSH) service.

## Example

### Example

```json
{
  "raw": "xyz789",
  "encryption": "abc123"
}

```
