Creating a public.pem and private.pem key.

How can I create a public and private key using the terminal?

You'll have to provide a little more information as to why you're creating these keys.

these keys are required for my licence key mechanism

NSData *publicKeyData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"public" ofType:@"pem"]]];

Ah. I would assume that you might need to use OpenSSL to generate the keys. That's how I've generated keys and certificates for a FreeRADIUS setup I'm using here at work.

OpenSSL should already be installed on your Mac, ready-to-use for generating keys.
