[openssl-users] Generating RSA PrivateKey and PublicKey programmaticallly

[Nayna Jain]

Is there any other way to store private key and public key rather than in
PEM format in file ?

I mean API to store public and private key separately in memory.

Thanks & Regards,
Nayna Jain

Take a look at the various PEM_write*PUBKEY() and PEM_write*PrivateKey()
