Re: [OpenSSL]Is it possible to show the numerical value of the public and private key's exponent in a certificate

[Lou Losee <llosee@gmail.com>]

From the OpenSSL RSA man page:

To print out the components of a private key to standard output:

        openssl rsa -in key.pem -text -noout

Not explicitly in the man page, but from reading it, it appears to get
the components of the private key, the following should work:

        openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubin -pubout -text -noout
