Before anybody blasts me, I just noticed a previous post on this subject :)
EVP_PKEY *509_get_pubkey(cert)
Looks like it will work. I'll try that. But my second question holds, is this the right way to do the sig verification, or is there another or better way?

Subject: Getting public key out of an X509 object
Can someone point me to how I can get the public key out of an X509 object? Basically, what I am trying to achieve is to sign something using the EVP interface and either a DSA or RSA private key, where the associated public key is in the cert. So now I want to get the public key out of the cert to verify the signature, again using the EVP interface. Am I going about this the right way? Or is there another set of API's that I should use that deal directly with the X509* instead?
Thanks,
Ed
