Openssl genrsa -des3 -out private.pem 2048 That generates a 2048-bit RSA key pair, encrypts them with a password you provide and writes them to a file. You need to next extract the public key file. You will use this, for instance, on your web server to encrypt content so that it can only be read with the private key.

- Generate the CSR code and Private key for your certificate by running this command: openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out servercsr.txt. Note: server.key and servercsr.txt are the Private key and the CSR code files. Feel free to use any file names, as long as you keep the.key and.txt extensions.
- C OpenSSL Parse X509 Certificate PEM Here is a sample of OpenSSL C code parsing a certificate from a hardcoded string. Included is basically the output in bash if you parse a cert with command line the openssl command, 'openssl x509 -noout -text -in cert.pem'.
- Generating an RSA Key Pair Problem You want to use RSA to encrypt data, and you need to generate a public key and its corresponding private key. Solution Use - Selection from Secure Programming Cookbook for C and C Book.
To sign an assembly with a strong name, you must have a public/private key pair. This public and private cryptographic key pair is used during compilation to create a strong-named assembly. You can create a key pair using the Strong Name tool (Sn.exe). Key pair files usually have an .snk extension.
Note
In Visual Studio, the C# and Visual Basic project property pages include a Signing tab that enables you to select existing key files or to generate new key files without using Sn.exe. In Visual C++, you can specify the location of an existing key file in the Advanced property page in the Linker section of the Configuration Properties section of the Property Pages window. The use of the AssemblyKeyFileAttribute attribute to identify key file pairs was made obsolete beginning with Visual Studio 2005.
Create a key pair
To create a key pair, at a command prompt, type the following command:
sn –k <file name>
In this command, file name is the name of the output file containing the key pair.
The following example creates a key pair called sgKey.snk.
If you intend to delay sign an assembly and you control the whole key pair (which is unlikely outside test scenarios), you can use the following commands to generate a key pair and then extract the public key from it into a separate file. First, create the key pair:
Next, extract the public key from the key pair and copy it to a separate file:
Once you create the key pair, you must put the file where the strong name signing tools can find it.
When signing an assembly with a strong name, the Assembly Linker (Al.exe) looks for the key file relative to the current directory and to the output directory. When using command-line compilers, you can simply copy the key to the current directory containing your code modules.
If you are using an earlier version of Visual Studio that does not have a Signing tab in the project properties, the recommended key file location is the project directory with the file attribute specified as follows:

By default public and private key are given in PEM format.By default, no output file path is specified.
You can specify cert output files for PEM cert as following :
enable_pem
: enable PEM format (default)public_key_file
: output file for public key in PEM formatprivate_key_file
: output file for private key in PEM format
You can specify cert output files for PKCS12 cert as following :
enable_p12
: enable PKCS12 formatkey_file
: output file for public/private key in PKCS12 format

Checking and Verifying certificates
Here are some useful openssl command to test your output :
Check start date and end date for a PEM certificate
openssl x509 -startdate -noout -in cert.crt
openssl x509 -enddate -noout -in cert.crt
Openssl Generate Private Key C++
Check a public PEM key
- openssl x509 -in cert.crt -text -noout
Check a private PEM key
- openssl rsa -in cert.key -check
Check a PKCS12 file
- openssl pkcs12 -info -in cert.p12
Check that public/key pair is uncorrupted
Those commands should return same md5 :
openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in cert.crt | openssl md5
openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in cert.key | openssl md5
