The following command generates a file which contains both public and private key: openssl

  • 0

The following command generates a file which contains both public and private key:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out privkey.pem 2048

Source: here

With OpenSSL, the private key contains the public key information as well, so a public key doesn’t need to be generated separately

How can we extract the public key from the privkey.pem file?

Thanks.

    openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -pubout > key.pub
    

    That writes the public key to key.pub
