CkPython Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Convert RSA Private Key to Public Key

See more RSA Examples

Demonstrates how to get a public RSA key from a private RSA key. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

privKey = chilkat.CkPrivateKey()

#  Step 1: Load the private key from a source.
#  (Chilkat can load private keys from all types of formats, and from in-memory bytes or encoded strings.
#  see the online reference documentation for more options.)
success = privKey.LoadPemFile("qa_data/pem/VP_Private.pem")
if (success == False):
    print(privKey.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

#  Step 2: Get the public key object from the private key object.
pubKey = chilkat.CkPublicKey()
privKey.ToPublicKey(pubKey)

#  Step 3: Save the public key in a desired format. 
#  (Chilkat can load or save public and private keys in many different formats.  See
#  the online reference documentation for more options.)

#  Saves to a PKCS8 PEM file.
bPreferPkcs1 = False
success = pubKey.SavePemFile(bPreferPkcs1,"qa_data/pem/VP_Public.pem")
if (pubKey.get_LastMethodSuccess() == False):
    print(pubKey.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print("Extracted and saved public key from private key.")
