Description

I don't know if I am missing something, is there a way to parse a private key file or private key data with a passphrase into a NIOSSHPrivateKey without knowing the type of private key you want to open?

Research direction

Start by locating the NIOSSHPrivateKey API and any existing private-key parsing entry points. Determine how file or byte input and passphrases should be handled without requiring the key type, then define completion around successfully constructing a NIOSSHPrivateKey from those inputs across the supported private-key formats.
