Answer 1

Here's a linux one liner:

cat FILE.PEM | openssl rsa -pubout -outform DER | openssl dgst -sha256 | awk '{print $2}' | cut -c 1-32 | tr '0-9a-f' 'a-p'

nicely formatted for readability

cat FILE.PEM | \
openssl rsa -pubout -outform DER | \
openssl dgst -sha256 | \
awk '{print $2}' | \
cut -c 1-32 | \
tr '0-9a-f' 'a-p'
