A key's fingerprint is something specific to OpenPGP. It includes OpenPGP-specific information and formats. As such, it is undefined for an OpenSSH key or a CMS (X.509) key; it simply doesn't exist. A keygrip is a short representation of an asymmetric keypair's actual public key material. For example, it is the same for an RSA key whether that key is used for an OpenPGP key, an OpenSSH key or a CMS key. gpg-agent works with keygrips because it provides services to all of OpenPGP, SSH and CMS. And it allows you to use the same material in multiple formats that way, such as with the Authentication subkey. HTH, Peter. -- I use the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) in combination with Enigmail.
