The OpenSSL operations and options are indicated below. + +Unless otherwise mentioned all algorithms support the B<digest:alg> option +which specifies the digest in use for sign, verify and verifyrecover operations. +The value B<alg> should represent a digest name as used in the +EVP_get_digestbyname() function for example B<sha1>. + +=head1 RSA ALGORITHM + +The RSA algorithm supports encrypt, decrypt, sign, verify and verifyrecover +operations in general. Some padding modes only support some of these +operations however. + +=over 4 + +=item -B<rsa_padding_mode:mode> + +This sets the RSA padding mode. Acceptable values for B<mode> are B<pkcs1> for +PKCS#1 padding, B<sslv23> for SSLv23 padding, B<none> for no padding, B<oaep> +for B<OAEP> mode, B<x931> for X9.31 mode and B<pss> for PSS. + +In PKCS#1 padding if the message digest is not set then the supplied data is +signed or verified directly instead of using a B<DigestInfo> structure. If a +digest is set then the a B<DigestInfo> structure is used and its the length +must correspond to the digest type. + +For B<oeap> mode only encryption and decryption is supported. + +For B<x931> if the digest type is set it is used to format the block data +otherwise the first byte is used to specify the X9.31 digest ID. Sign, +verify and verifyrecover are can be performed in this mode. + +For B<pss> mode only sign and verify are supported and the digest type must be +specified. + +=item B<rsa_pss_saltlen:len> + +For B<pss> mode only this option specifies the salt length. Two special values +are supported: -1 sets the salt length to the digest length. When signing -2 +sets the salt length to the maximum permissible value. When verifying -2 causes +the salt length to be automatically determined based on the B<PSS> block +structure. + +=back + +=head1 DSA ALGORITHM + +The DSA algorithm supports signing and verification operations only. Currently +there are no additional options other than B<digest>. Only the SHA1 +digest can be used and this digest is assumed by default. + +=head1 DH ALGORITHM + +The DH algorithm only supports the derivation operation and no additional +options. + +=head1 EC ALGORITHM + +The EC algorithm supports sign, verify and derive operations. The sign and +verify operations use ECDSA and derive uses ECDH. Currently there are no +additional options other than B<digest>. Only the SHA1 digest can be used and +this digest is assumed by default. + +=head1 EXAMPLES + +Sign some data using a private key: + + openssl pkeyutl -sign -in file -inkey key.pem -out sig + +Recover the signed data (e.g. if an RSA key is used): + + openssl pkeyutl -verifyrecover -in sig -inkey key.pem + +Verify the signature (e.g. a DSA key): + + openssl pkeyutl -verify -in file -sigfile sig -inkey key.pem + +Sign data using a message digest value (this is currently only valid for RSA): + + openssl pkeyutl -sign -in file -inkey key.pem -out sig -pkeyopt digest:sha256 + +Derive a shared secret value: + + openssl pkeyutl -derive -inkey key.pem -peerkey pubkey.pem -out secret + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<genpkey(1)|genpkey(1)>, L<pkey(1)|pkey(1)>, L<rsautl(1)|rsautl(1)> +L<dgst(1)|dgst(1)>, L<rsa(1)|rsa(1)>, L<genrsa(1)|genrsa(1)> |
