Get RSA Key Modulus from .cer or .key

See more Certificates Examples

Demonstrates how to get the RSA key modulus from either the certificate (.cer) or RSA key (.key). OpenSSL commands to do the same would be:

openssl x509 -inform DER -in "test.cer"  -modulus -noout 

or

openssl pkcs8 -inform DER -in​ "test.key"​ -outform PEM -passin pass:"12345​678a​"
   | openssl rsa -inform PEM -modulus -noout
