    ...
    ...
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
...
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

In This Certificate, Which is the public key? is Modulus? what does the Signature Algorithm, a9:55:56:... represent (is it message digest)? And what is between -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- & -----END CERTIFICATE-----, is That the whole certificate?

As I am novice, little bit confusing between the message digest and public key?
