You might recall I had this same problem last spring. I was forced to conclude there is no way to extract a private key from a keychain. The key can apparently be moved to other Macs by moving the whole keychain file to the other Mac, but this doesn't help when moving to Linux or Windows. After trolling the Web for a few weeks, I finally broke down and asked someone I know who works at Apple. After asking around, she basically said that at that time there was no way to extract public keys. I don't think this has changed, and I think it's a big oversight in the keychain utility. I was finally forced to throw out my private keys and generate new ones. The second time around, I did it with Mozilla instead of Safari. Then I burned the key files to a CD and imported them everywhere I needed them. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
