.pem文件是否同时包含私钥和公钥？

Question

我想知道PEM文件是否同时包含私钥和公钥？"PEM "代表什么？

Answer 1

PEM文件可能包含任何东西，包括公钥、私钥，或者两者都包含，因为PEM文件不是一个标准。实际上，PEM只是意味着文件中包含一个base64编码的数据位。它被称为PEM文件是由于旧的隐私增强邮件标准的典故，这些标准是在SMIME之前作为邮件安全标准的。这些标准以特定的base64格式指定了各种密钥和邮件的格式。参见 RFC 1421 比如说，PEM文件包含一个base64编码的密钥或证书，其标题和脚注行是这样的。

典型的PEM文件包含一个base64编码的密钥或证书，其页眉和页脚行的格式为 -----BEGIN <whatever>----- 和 -----END <whatever>----. 随着时间的推移，已经有了许多可能性。<whatever>包括私钥、公钥、X509证书、PKCS7数据、包含多个证书的文件、包含私钥和X509证书的文件、PKCS#10证书签署请求、......

RFC 7468 已经写好了，以记录这种事实上的格式。

Answer 2

您可以 解读 你的 PEM 格式化 x509 凭证 使用以下命令。

openssl x509 -in cert.pem -text -noout

PEM 凭证 包含 唯有公钥 或 唯独私钥 或 既是。
