Hello,
I need to extract the RSA public key from a RSA private key using OpenSSL.
I'm currently using RSAPublicKey_dup()
passing the RSA*
private key to get the public key. However, while the call seems to work, I cannot load (or use) this public key using the openssl command-line tool.
If I generate the public key using the command-line tool ("$ openssl rsa -in private.pem -pubout > public.pem
"), I can use it and it works like a charm.
Do you guys know how I can get this work ? Maybe another function ? The OpenSSL documentation is quite hard to browse...
Thank you.
