Frequently Asked Questions
==========================
How can I extract a public / private key from a x509 certificate?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The ``load_pem_x509_certificate()`` function from ``cryptography`` can be used to
extract the public or private keys from a x509 certificate in PEM format.
.. code-block:: python
from cryptography.x509 import load_pem_x509_certificate
from cryptography.hazmat.backends import default_backend
cert_str = "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----MIIDETCCAfm..."
cert_obj = load_pem_x509_certificate(cert_str, default_backend())
public_key = cert_obj.public_key()
private_key = cert_obj.private_key()
I'm using Google App Engine and can't install `cryptography`, what can I do?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some platforms like Google App Engine don't allow you to install libraries
that require C extensions to be built (like `cryptography`). If you're deploying
to one of those environments, you should check out :ref:`legacy-deps`
