OpenSSLfails on signature verification with “Unknown Option” error
up vote

I have three files:
- test.json
- public.pem
- test.json.sign (Which is the signature of test.json with a private key)
I need to verify this signature. I use the following command
dgst -sha256 -sign pub.key -signature <signature filename> <data file>
When I try this command it gives me "unable to load key file" error.
What is the problem?
P.S: I googled the problem and I found a solution on this website here
It says I need to run the following command first
openssl x509 -pubkey -noout -in cert.pem > pubkey.pem
But when I run this command it gives me "unknown option" error!

This could be a character encoding issue. Look at this answer. Or just try it without the file output like this.openssl x509 -pubkey -noout -in cert.pem
