In Keychain Access on OS X, Find matching public and private keys
I guess you have been able to get around your problem as this is an old thread, but I am just writing a reply for any future reference.
The basic idea is to export your private and public keys, and use openssl to view their modulus. Matching private/public keys will have the same modulus.
Here is how to see the modulus of a private key:
In Keychain Access export your private key and select "Personal Information Exchange (.p12)" file format. This will create .p12 file.
-
Launch a terminal and use openssl to convert your .p12 file to a .pem file:
openssl pkcs12 -in key.p12 -out key.pem -nodes
-
Use openssl to view the modulus of the pem private key:
openssl rsa -in key.pem -modulus -noout
Here is how to see the modulus of a public key:
In Keychain Access export your public key and select "Privacy Enhanced Mail (.pem)" file format. This will create .pem file.
This .pem file is a PKCS#1 PEM file (with a header
-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
), while openssl can only read PKCS#8 PEM (with a header-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
). So open up your exported public key in TextEdit and remove theRSA
bit from the header and the footer, and save the changes.-
Use openssl to view the modulus of the pem public key:
openssl rsa -pubin -in pubkey.pem -modulus -noout
Please also note that in fact, you could also delete your public keys and re-create them from the private keys (that way you could be certain of your matching pairs). To create the matching public key from a private key use the following openssl command:
openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
