Great! Say, I want to extract the public key and make it available to another entity or module? Possibly DER-encoded, though I'd like to learn how to do both: extract ?ASN.1-encoded and raw (assuming it is possible).? Thanks!

So my question is: from having EVP_PKEY *privateECKey how do I get EVP_PKEY *publicECKey? The public key is always there. You either have both the public and private keys or just the public key. So the same EVP_PKEY object holds both. What you do next depends on what you want to do with the public key... -- Viktor. -- openssl-users mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-users -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
