>From the C interface, is there a preferred / generalized way to take a public key or certificate and put it in a binary form suitable for network transmission? There's a whole set of functions for reading and writing keys in PEM format, but nothing for binary. I could, for example, pull from an RSA key the n and e values and put them in a buffer, but that seems a bit too hard-coded. I'd prefer not to dig into the implementation details of these keys. I could also use one of the PEM write routes to write the PEM to a memory sink and manually decode the base64 (I don't see any base64 routines, and BIO_f_base64 seems to only work in one direction), but that's a major kludge.
So what is the proper way to go about this?
