PEM File "CERTIFICATE" vs "PUBLIC KEY"
42,008
One is a public cert, the other is a key. As Federico stated in comments, this question addresses it pretty well.
That being said, what are you trying to do?

I have a PEM file that looks like:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... -----END CERTIFICATE-----
which I can convert to another PEM file using:
openssl x509 -in key.crt -pubkey -noout
. The new PEM file now looks like:-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- ... -----END PUBLIC KEY-----
my question is, what is the difference between these two files?
