Frequently asked questions

Can I extract the private key?

No. A certificate only contains the public key. The private key is stored separately and should never be shared.

What can I do with the extracted public key?

Use it to verify signatures, encrypt data for the certificate holder, or configure SSH/TLS key pinning.
