I am able to retrieve the public key contents from a cert file using openssl by following the link http://fm4dd.com/openssl/certpubkey.htm



However, it prints the public key to stdout. I want to be able to store it in a string . Is there a way to get it into a char buffer or a string ?



The line PEM_write_bio_PUBKEY(outbio, pkey) prints to stdout.



Searched quite a bit, wasnt able to get what I wanted.



Any help will be appreciated, better if the code sample is provided as I'm running out of time.



Thanks in advance.

  • The code you link to sets up outbio to be stdout. I'd guess you just need to make a different output BIO instead? e.g. BIO_s_mem

I found a solution finally !
X509 structure to human readable string



Just replaced with EVP_PKEY *key in X509_to_PEM() signature and used PEM_write_bio_PUBKEY(bio, key) instead of PEM_write_bio_X509(bio, cert).



Worked !
