How to extract the public key from a DSA key file using OpenSSL "pkey" command?

If you want to extract the public key out from a DSA 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_dsa.key -pubout -out my_dsa_pub.key
OpenSSL> exit

C:\Users\fyicenter>type my_dsa_pub.key

Options used in this command are:

• "-in my_dsa.key" - Read the DSA key file from: C:\Users\fyicenter\my_dsa.key
• "-pubout" - Extract the public key out of the DSA key file
• "-out my_dsa_pub.key" - Save the public key in a file with no password protection.
