Get EC Public Key from EC Private Key

See more ECC Examples

Demonstrates how to get an EC public key from an EC private key. Rust

// We have an ECC private key...
// The contents of the private key PEM file look like this:

// 	-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
// 	MIGHAgEAMBMGByqGSM49AgEGCCqGSM49AwEHBG0wawIBAQQg3J8q/24D1sEKGdP9
// 	72MGYElLGpw/a56Y3t6pfON3uhShRANCAATlSmoizyhAwoYZAOuFBATl07/1RR54
// 	a1Dzfm16grxJe666AGKR+bSs24hk7TEpaeCTvT8YOOM3l+xKFg7zq6Q9
// 	-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

let priv_key = chilkat::PrivateKey::new();
if priv_key.load_pem_file("qa_data/ecc/secp256r1-key-pkcs8.pem").is_err() {
    println!("{}", priv_key.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Get the public key.
let pub_key = chilkat::PublicKey::new();
let _ = priv_key.to_public_key(&pub_key);

// Save the public key to a PEM file.
if pub_key.save_pem_file(false, "qa_data/ecc/secp256r1-pubkey.pem").is_err() {
    println!("{}", pub_key.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// The contents of the ECC public key PEM file look like this:
