Generate A Public Key Using A Private Key

To sign an assembly with a strong name, you must have a public/private key pair. This public and private cryptographic key pair is used during compilation to create a strong-named assembly. You can create a key pair using the Strong Name tool (Sn.exe). Key pair files usually have an.snk extension. The public key is used to encrypt data. The private key however is private. It is only ever stored on user’s device. The private key is used to decrypt data. Public key is used to convert the message to an unreadable form. Private key is used to convert the received message back to the original message. /far-cry-2-cd-key-generator-chomikuj.html.

It is a simple one liner command to generate a public key from a private key, so lets say our private key is named ‘user@myserver.key’ and we want to generate the public key and name it ‘authorized_keys’. Below is the command to do this.
