title: Can I use my ssh-public-key to decrypt a file?
body: <p>I'm trying to find a way to decrypt an encrypted file on a 'virgin' EC2-instance. These EC-instances I use (Ubuntu Lucid) only hold my AWS-created public ssh-key. If can use this to decrypt a file, I can feed it encrypted files (for example a bash-script holding a password to my subversion-repository).</p>
  
  <p>So, my question, can I use my ssh-key to encrypt/decrypt a file?</p>
