  - *(string) --* 

    If you used  CreateKeyPair to create the key pair:

     

    
    * For RSA key pairs, the key fingerprint is the SHA-1 digest of the DER encoded private key.
     
    * For ED25519 key pairs, the key fingerprint is the base64-encoded SHA-256 digest, which is the default for OpenSSH, starting with `OpenSSH 6.8 <http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.8>`__.
    

     

    If you used  ImportKeyPair to provide Amazon Web Services the public key:

     

    
    * For RSA key pairs, the key fingerprint is the MD5 public key fingerprint as specified in section 4 of RFC4716.
     
    * For ED25519 key pairs, the key fingerprint is the base64-encoded SHA-256 digest, which is the default for OpenSSH, starting with `OpenSSH 6.8 <http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.8>`__.
