    I had to do that on OmniMix after I shared an SMTP onion link meant for private use.

    Do you know where I find examples for private and public keys and their
    base32 representations ready to be deployed within the Tor system? There
    are several base32 variants and I don't know which to use.

    I created

    -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- MC4CAQAwBQYDK2VuBCIEIGDtPiNQMQQY+Nnkx0LKGH0SQt8D/noGDGxjTNGjh1FE
    -----END PRIVATE KEY-----

    and

    -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- MCowBQYDK2VuAyEAfGdTTadjrYtpzHgLXbC+RM0IL3uefDZuJIDNhI+peGI=
    -----END PUBLIC KEY-----

    and would like to know how to convert them correctly.

    Thanks

    Why not use my previously mentioned onionauth program?

    $ onionauth -h
    Usage: onionauth <name> <onion_address>

    $ onionauth pollux yeffqiea4xtcu6woyab6z6bz4oehisfuzgtmk4e277bydq25p7nha7ad pollux public key: LRNSKXA76FVZPFTDNKCQWXSAZLJYVJOLNQOJ2JSZXKDPUVYMO5JA
    pollux private key: FDNK5VN4CXYUMFNP2WFPJ7GSJJFU3HEH7MRWBXUPI4HLWWZGTNGQ
    Public key saved to pollux.auth
    Private key saved to pollux_onion.auth_private

    $ cat pollux.auth descriptor:x25519:LRNSKXA76FVZPFTDNKCQWXSAZLJYVJOLNQOJ2JSZXKDPUVYMO5JA

    $ cat pollux_onion.auth_private yeffqiea4xtcu6woyab6z6bz4oehisfuzgtmk4e277bydq25p7nha7ad:descriptor:x25519:FDNK5VN4CXYUMFNP2WFPJ7GSJJFU3HEH7MRWBXUPI4HLWWZGTNGQ
