✍: FYIcenter.com

A

If you want to extract the public key out from a EC key file (private key an public key), you can use the OpenSSL "pkey -pubout" command as shown below:

C:\Users\fyicenter>\local\openssl\openssl.exe

OpenSSL> pkey -in my_ec.key -pubout -out my_ec_pub.key
OpenSSL> exit

C:\Users\fyicenter>type my_ec_pub.key
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----

YuNedijfrGVhxQIBAQMeAATKt2umhaULWqO58OmQMLMsCykE4cor/fRTiA2d
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----

Options used in this command are:

"-in my_ec.key" - Read the EC key file from: C:\Users\fyicenter\my_ec.key
"-pubout" - Extract the public key out of the EC key file
"-out my_ec_pub.key" - Save the public key in a file with no password protection.
