#The public key in PEM Format
public_key = new_key.publickey().exportKey("PEM")
print (private_key)
fd = open("private_key.pem", "wb")
fd.write(private_key)
fd.close()
print (public_key)
fd = open("public_key.pem", "wb")
fd.write(public_key)
fd.close()
To review the output of the generated keys, see Figure 8.2. The key is in a
special encoded RSA file format. You can decode the file using the following
command:
openssl rsa -in private_key.pem -text -noout
