Hello, Aintzane ..
 
The good news is that lots of folks have done that.  The bad news is
that the technique is vendor and card specific.  Some cards have 
specific APDUs to extract a public key and/or a certificate.  Some
cards just use READ BINARY on a file.
 
Of course, card manufacturers could have followed the ISO 7816-8
standard which calls for simply returning the public key from the key
generation but that would make smart cards generally useful and we 
certainly don't want that, do we?
 
Hope all is well.
 
Cheers, Scott

        Hi,
        we  want  to  develop  a program that makes a certificate request using the
        PKCS#10 standard. We have created a pair of keys that are stored in a smart
        card. The next step is to obtain the value of the public key, because it is
        necessary  to  make  the certificate request. But we don't know how to take
        out  the  public  key  value  from  the  card.  What's  the function or the
        procedure  to  take  out  the  public  key value? Has anyone ever done this
        before? Thanks in advance,
        
        Aintzane Armentia
