Hi Eric,

You should look into public_key:der_decode/2

To get a SubjectPublicKeyInfo to rsa_public_key() you need to do something
like this:

{0, Res} = Info#'SubjectPublicKeyInfo'.subjectPublicKey,
public_key:der_decode('RSAPublicKey', Res).

We do something similar but do not work with certificates.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
Martin
