(The public keys are already public, as part of the certificates themselves.) This is somewhat off-topic for this group, so I'll confine myself to noting that not all encryption schemes use Certificate Authorities in the X.509 sense, PGP/GPG being the most well-known example of a system not based on X.509-style CAs.
