The piece that openssl doesn't handle is the rsaOAEP OID for the public
key. Here's a typical certificate dump. I'm trying to extract the public
modulus.

give more details about what you mean by non-standard x509?
are you talking about an non recognized extension for example?
or just show an example and what you want to extract.
