def _fingerprint(public_key, fingerprint_hash_type):
    '''
    Return a public key fingerprint based on its base64-encoded representation

    The fingerprint string is formatted according to RFC 4716 (ch.4), that is,
    in the form "xx:xx:...:xx"

    If the key is invalid (incorrect base64 string), return None

    public_key
        The public key to return the fingerprint for

    fingerprint_hash_type
        The public key fingerprint hash type that the public key fingerprint
        was originally hashed with. This defaults to ``sha256`` if not specified.

        .. versionadded:: 2016.11.4
        .. versionchanged:: 2017.7.0: default changed from ``md5`` to ``sha256``
