I have saved the private and public key of the ECDSA;
Just sample code below.

     int len= i2o_ECPublicKey(eckey,NULL);
     unsigned char *buf=(unsigned char *)0;
     ret= i2o_ECPublicKey(eckey,( unsigned char **)&buf);
     if (!ret){
        printf("Public key to octect string failed\n");
        return 1;
     }
     printf("\ni2o public\n");
     for (int i=0; i<len; i++)
       printf("%X ",buf[i]);
     printf("\n\n");

    printf("started SHA1\n");

     fp = fopen(args[1],"wb");
     if (fp==NULL){
       printf("Public file [%s] failed to create\n",args[1]);
        return 1;
     }
     fwrite(buf,1,len,fp);
     fclose(fp);

And have used this public key to check signature simply by reading the file
back
as data to "pubdata" using this function.

pubkey=  o2i_ECPublicKey(&pubkey, (const unsigned char **)&pubdata, publen);

But what is the best packaging for this Public key as in handing it out?
I can simply provide this file but is there some packaging format generally
used as Best Practices?

How about:
