Ok, thanks but the key is not in DER but COER, there are ways to transform it in DER.
Thanks
Best regards

I'm not sure how IEEE certs differ from X.509 certs...  if they don't,
you're better off reading the cert with PEM_read_bio_X509() and
extracting the public key with X509_get0_pubkey() or X509_get0_pubkey().

If IEEE certs differ in format, you must first know the exact byte
content, where the public key is in there, make sure it's encoded in
DER, and use d2i_EC_PUBKEY() to make a EC_KEY from those bytes.

Cheers,
Richard
