The following example uses the GetPublicKey method to return a certificate's public key as an array of bytes and displays it to the console.
using System; using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates; public class X509 { public static void Main() { // The path to the certificate. string Certificate = "Certificate.cer"; // Load the certificate into an X509Certificate object. X509Certificate cert = X509Certificate.CreateFromCertFile(Certificate); // Get the value. byte[] results = cert.GetPublicKey(); // Display the value to the console. foreach(byte b in results) { Console.Write(b); } } }
import System.*;
import System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.*;
public class X509
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// The path to the certificate.
String certificate = "Certificate.cer";
// Load the certificate into an X509Certificate object.
X509Certificate cert = X509Certificate.CreateFromCertFile(certificate);
// Get the value.
ubyte results[] = cert.GetPublicKey();
// Display the value to the console.
for (int iCtr = 0; iCtr < results.get_Length(); iCtr++) {
ubyte b = results[iCtr];
Console.Write(b);
}
} //main
} //X509
