How to load a public RSA key into Python-RSA from a file?

Question

I generated a private and a public key using OpenSSL with the following commands:

openssl genrsa -out private_key.pem 512
openssl rsa -in private_key.pem -pu         


        

Answer 1

You can generate private key by ssh-keygen:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

and generate public key like this:

ssh-keygen -e -m pem -f xxx > pubkey.pem
