Dear Nestor,

Could you please fill an issue on GitHub?
It's much simpler for us to follow the issues there.

Greetings,


We use a TPM2 device to generate private keys with tpm2-tss-engine:
https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tss-engine

While attempting to extract the public key from a TSS2 private key using OpenSSL 3.0.0-beta2 and tpm2-tss-engine, I received a message "PEM format not supported":

openssl rsa -engine libtpm2tss -inform engine -in privkey.pem -pubout -outform PEM -out pubkey.pem
Engine "tpm2tss" set.
writing RSA key
PEM format not supported

Although it is recommended to use providers instead of engines with OpenSSL 3.0.0, are engines still supported? Should the above operation be expected to work?

Here is an example of a private key was generated with tpm2-tss-engine's tpm2tss-genkey:
-----BEGIN TSS2 PRIVATE KEY-----

-----END TSS2 PRIVATE KEY-----

If I use instead the TPM2 provider tpm2-openssl
https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-openssl

the command
openssl rsa -provider tpm2 -in privkey.pem -pubout -outform PEM -out pubkey.pem

works, producing:
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
