I don't know of any documentation with a regular expression for SSH public 
keys. The SSH RFC is not the place as the format of public key files is 
implementation specific. For a definitive answer one would need to inspect the 
OpenSSH source code or the "AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT" section of the 
"opensshd" man page.

Take into account that the public keys that this has to verify come from the 
engine, from the https://engine.example.com/engine.ssh.key.txt URL. I can tell 
you for sure that that URL generates public keys that match this regular 
expression, as I wrote the Java code that generates them.

Also take into account that the intent here is not to make sure that the SSH 
public key is 100% correct, that would be harder, only to differentiate it from 
garbage. I think that this check is good enough for that purpose.
