Subject: Testing private key - public key consistency
Hello,
is there a quick way/function to verify that a private (EVP_PKEY) key
matches a X509 certificate's public key?
thanks,
looks like:
int X509_verify(X509 *a, EVP_PKEY *r);
does the trick

No that will check to see if the certfiicate a was signed by public key r.
The function:
int X509_check_private_key(X509 *x, EVP_PKEY *k)
is the right one.

Okay. Out of curiosity, what're the functions for:
1) Verifying that a given public key (not part of an X509 structure)
matches a given EVP_PKEY?
2) Extracting the public key from the EVP_PKEY (since, as I understand
it, the public key is stored as part of the private key structure)?

Probably you can try the openssl verify command?
