Is there a way to extract modulus and exponent of a private key using openssl? If there is a way, please let me know.
268
Modulus (n) is the product of two prime numbers used to generate the key pair. Public exponent (d) is the exponent used on signed / encoded data to decode the original value.
At the center of the RSA cryptosystem is the RSA modulus N. It is a positive integer which equals the product of two distinct prime numbers p and q: RSA modulus: N = pq.
Yes. Using the -text option to openssl rsa is one way:
$ openssl genrsa 2048 > dummy.key
