I just needed an OpenSSL DSA public key. This is not really difficult, you just need to know the right commands. On my Mac I ran the following commands to obtain both private <code>dsa_priv.pem</code> and public <code>dsa_pub.pem</code> keys.
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre lang="sh">
|
||
|
|
openssl dsaparam 1024 < /dev/random > dsaparam.pem
|
||
|
|
openssl gendsa dsaparam.pem -out dsa_priv.pem
|
||
|
|
openssl dsa -in dsa_priv.pem -pubout -out dsa_pub.pem
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|

Needless to say, keep your private key in secure location and make sure you have a backup of it!
