I was looking at the test section on README.md and think the descriptions of the second and third commands are incorrect. Looks like #2 exports a public key and #3 converts a private key between formats--are those two comments reversed?

#1 Generate 2048-bit RSA Keypair 
openssl genrsa -out privkey-rsa-2048.pkcs1.pem 2048

#2 Convert PKCS1 (traditional) RSA Keypair to PKCS8 format 
openssl rsa -in privkey-rsa-2048.pkcs1.pem -pubout -out pub-rsa-2048.spki.pem

#3 Export Public-only RSA Key in PKCS1 (traditional) format 
openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in privkey-rsa-2048.pkcs1.pem -out privkey-rsa-2048.pkcs8.pem

#4 Convert PKCS1 (traditional) RSA Public Key to SPKI/PKIX format
openssl rsa -in pub-rsa-2048.spki.pem -pubin -RSAPublicKey_out -out pub-rsa-2048.pkcs1.pem

#5 Convert RSA public key to SSH format
ssh-keygen -f ./pub-rsa-2048.spki.pem -i -mPKCS8 > ./pub-rsa-2048.ssh.pub
