Creation of Public Key(PPK) from Private Key(PEM)

Users dealing with connectoin to encrypted environments uses Keys as a encryption mechanism for communication between the hosts.

These Keys are of two types namely Private Key(PEM) and Public Key(PPK).

Private Key(PEM)s are usually generated by the host to which the encrypted connection has to be made.  But tools such as "Putty" which are used as SSH based connection tools, connects with the remote machines requires Public Key(PPK) to create sessions with the host.

Public Key(PPK) are generated using tools provided by "Putty" such as "Putty Key Generator" in Windows or using "ssh-rsa" utility in Linux, when we have Private Key(PEM).

Creation of Public Key(PPK) would end with "Couldn't load objects" when using "Putty Key Generator".  This is due to the unavailability of new line at the end of the Private Key(PEM).

This has been fixed with the latest versions of "Putty", however it is not required to update "Putty" for this small purpose.
