==========================
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
cert_str = b"-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----MIIDETCCAfm..."
cert_obj = load_pem_x509_certificate(cert_str)
public_key = cert_obj.public_key()
private_key = cert_obj.private_key()
