Certificate public key accessing at x64 configuration
To access the public key of a certificate in x64 configuration on Windows, you can use the following steps:
Open the Certificate Manager: Press
Win + R
to open the Run dialog, then typecertmgr.msc
and press Enter. This will open the Certificate Manager.Navigate to the certificate: In the Certificate Manager, expand the "Certificates - Current User" or "Certificates - Local Computer" node, depending on the location of your certificate. Locate the certificate you want to access the public key for.
Open the certificate details: Double-click on the certificate to open its properties.
Access the public key: In the certificate properties window, switch to the "Details" tab. Scroll down the list of properties and locate the "Public Key" property. The value of this property represents the public key of the certificate.
Note: The exact location of the certificate and its properties may vary depending on your Windows version and configuration. The steps provided above are based on Windows 10, but they should be similar for other versions of Windows.
Alternatively, you can also use the PowerShell command Get-ChildItem
to access the public key of a certificate. Here's an example:
powershell$cert = Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\CurrentUser\My -CodeSigningCert
$publicKey = $cert.PublicKey.Key
Replace Cert:\CurrentUser\My
with the appropriate certificate store and filter (-CodeSigningCert
in this example) to locate the certificate you're interested in. The $publicKey
variable will contain the public key of the certificate.
