(Node.js) Get Public Key from Certificate PEM

Loads a certificate from a PEM file and gets the cert's public key.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOS

var os = require('os');
if (os.platform() == 'win32') {  
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-win64'); 
} else if (os.platform() == 'linux') {
    if (os.arch() == 'arm') {

    } else if (os.arch() == 'arm64') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm64');

    // Get the certificate's public key:
    var pubkey = new chilkat.PublicKey();
    cert.GetPublicKey(pubkey);

    console.log(pubkey.GetPem(false));

    // OK.. we have the public key which can be used in other Chilkat classes/methods...
