Alex, thanks for the responce. Here's a follow up question.
d2i_PublicKey has a type as the first parameter. What are they refereing to? What do they want in this field?

PEM is the ascii version of the binary ASN/DER encoding, so PEM functions won't work. To convert a binary (der) encoding into an internal OpenSSL structure, use the d2i_* functions. In your case, probably the d2i_PublicKey() or a similar function will do. See also the FAQ for more information about the d2i_* functions.
