openssl_pkey_get_public()

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)

从证书中解析公钥，以供使用。

说明

openssl_pkey_get_public(mixed $certificate): resource

openssl_get_publickey()从$certificate中解析公钥，供其他函数使用。

参数

$certificate

$certificate可以是以下之一：

1. 一个 X.509 证书资源
2. 一个file://path/to/file.pem格式的字符串。文件名必须包含一个PEM编码的证书或者密钥(也许二者都有).
3. 一个 PEM 格式的公钥。

返回值

成功，返回真实的密钥资源标识符，错误，则返回FALSE

Michaela code retranscription can be :
$key = str_replace([
  '-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----',
  '-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----',
  "\r\n",
  "\n",
], [
  '',
  '',
  "\n",
  ''
], $key);
$key = 'MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8A' . trim($key);
$key = "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\n" . wordwrap($key, 64, "\n", true) . "\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----";

I spent a few hours raging with this function and hitting my head on the desk trying to get it to load a public PEM key.
This function can leave errors in openssl_error_string even if it succeeded so this can cause a lot of confusion further down. Especially if you're prototyping and haven't put full checks on return values in yet. The error will not be cleared either when calling other functions successfully.
To avoid confusion, you should always check the return result and only call openssl_error_string after calling an openssl function that returned failure (false).

If you are trying to read a PKCS#1 RSA public key you run into trouble, because openssl wants the public key in X.509 style.
The PKCS#1 RSA public key
-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
MIIBCgKCAQEAgYxTW5Yj+5QiQtlPMnS9kqQ/HVp+T2KtmvShe68cm8luR7Dampmb
[...]
cbn6n2FsV91BlEnrAKq65PGJxcwcH5+aJwIDAQAB
-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
.. is not readable while the X.509 style public key
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAgYxTW5Yj+5QiQtlPMnS9
[..]
JwIDAQAB
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----
is. You can use an easy (and dirty) work around to read the PKCS#1 RSA anyway. The first few bytes of the X.509 style public key contain header information and can shamelessly be copied.
In other words: Delete everything after the first 32 bytes from the above X.509 key (starting behind Q8A) and attach your PKCS#1 data, reformat to 64 bytes length and use it with openssl.
Please note: The above example only works for 2048 bit length.
Like I said - it's kind of dirty - but hey - if you're as desperate as I was.

you can get (and save to file) public key using openssl_pkey_get_details(resource $key ) function:
<?php
$pub_key = openssl_pkey_get_public(file_get_contents('./cert.crt'));
$keyData = openssl_pkey_get_details($pub_key);
file_put_contents('./key.pub', $keyData['key']);
?>

You must also use the string representation of the certificate to get the public key resource:
$dn = array(); // use defaults
$res_privkey = openssl_pkey_new();
$res_csr = openssl_csr_new($dn, $res_privkey);
$res_cert = openssl_csr_sign($res_csr, null, $res_privkey, $ndays);
openssl_x509_export($res_cert, $str_cert);
$res_pubkey = openssl_pkey_get_public($str_cert);

This documentation notes it can take a PEM-formatted private key, but as per bug #25614, this is not possible in any form. The function simply returns a FALSE.
The only thing you can get public keys out of are X.509 certificates.
Furthermore, there is NO way to export a public key into a PEM-encoded form.

Found it difficult to get my head around this due to lack of documentation.
But the process I followed for all this was:
Generate private key:
openssl genrsa -des3 -out private.pem 1024
Generate public key:
openssl rsa -in private.pem -out public.pem -outform PEM -pubout
Then in PHP:
$passphrase = 'somestring';
$key_private = openssl_get_privatekey(file_get_contents('private.pem'), $passphrase);
$key_public = openssl_get_publickey(file_get_contents('public.pem'));
Probably not the best way of doing it, but a lot simpler than the other examples on the site. I was having trouble getting the pubkey, it wasn't exactly specified very well, and I had made a mistake in generating it so it wasn't working for that reason as well.

Small error in this code:
$pub_key = openssl_pkey_get_public(file_get_contents('./cert.crt'));
$keyData = openssl_pkey_get_details($pub_key);
file_put_contents('./key.pub', $keyData['key']);

found the cert/public key for 2048 bits is this format:
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
X509 signature + PEM sig + modulus + 'ID' + exponent
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----
so the variables are:
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
'MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8A' . 'MIIBCgKCAQEA' . $modulus . 'ID' . $exponent
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----
<?php wordwrap($cert, 64, "\r\n", true); ?>

Note this will read public keys from PEM formatted public keys as well:
<?php
$key = <<<EOF
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDXX/MsKEBLcLeKA1d/i7ufG1qs
qS97xFkIRSeX3TwmHic843AfVrzoh2pZUeOvK9ZLZQpHSM7DoHMYDGD1273+FvZX
Ypf5LiFtecfxko/Cku16zy6WAeCYVFjjlveBhwPmPCIk+qDRYeiIW05QE2XK+CuD
nJ7sxxXIJSSgD3Jo5wIDAQAB
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----
EOF;
print $key;
$res = openssl_pkey_get_public($key);
print_r(openssl_pkey_get_details($res));
?>
Note that contrary to the documentation, openssl_pkey_get_details() will *not* read PEM directly, and you have to go through this step.

If you have a 4096 bit key pair and are trying to use a public key that begins with:
-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
 
and you need to convert it for this function to use, you can convert it by prepending the static header information:
MIICIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAg8A
Such as:
$start_key = str_replace('-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----', '', $start_key);
$start_key = trim(str_replace('-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----', '', $start_key));
$key = 'MIICIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAg8A' . str_replace("\n", '', $start_key);
$key = "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\n" . wordwrap($key, 64, "\n", true) . "\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----";
