@muru Tried to use the -i flag and it says buffer_get_string_ret: bad string length. So I cannot use the i flag to do the conversion.

Have a look at ssh-keygen's -i and -m options, anyway.

Are you using certificate-based SSH authentication? (As described in the CERTIFICATES section of the ssh-keygen(1) manpage.)
