Can't you generate a public key from a private one easily?

  Yes: ssh-keygen -y -f private_key.pem > public_key.pub

    Yes and no. It extracts the public key from the private key file. The "private" key file includes both keys. The public key file doesn't.

      > The "private" key file includes both keys. It wouldn't need to, though. Given the private key (n,d), the public key is probably (n,65537).
