    What do you mean “reverse engineer”? From man ssh-keygen:

           -y      This option will read a private OpenSSH format file and print an OpenSSH public key to stdout.

        That’s not a valid key. OpenSSH keys are not arbitrary bytes, they contain at least the type of the certificate used and a hostname.

        The fact that this is not a valid key does not mean you need to reverse engineer public keys. By design you can just get a public key with a private one.
