They can be converted between various +forms and their components printed out. B this command uses the +traditional SSLeay compatible format for private key encryption: newer +applications should use the more secure PKCS#8 format using the B +utility. + +=head1 COMMAND OPTIONS + +=over 4 + +=item B<-inform DER|NET|PEM> + +This specifies the input format. The B option uses an ASN1 DER encoded +form compatible with the PKCS#1 RSAPrivateKey or SubjectPublicKeyInfo format. +The B form is the default format: it consists of the B format base64 +encoded with additional header and footer lines. On input PKCS#8 format private +keys are also accepted. The B form is a format is described in the B +section. + +=item B<-outform DER|NET|PEM> + +This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning as the +B<-inform> option. + +=item B<-in filename> + +This specifies the input filename to read a key from or standard input if this +option is not specified. If the key is encrypted a pass phrase will be +prompted for. + +=item B<-passin arg> + +the input file password source. For more information about the format of B +see the B section in L. + +=item B<-out filename> + +This specifies the output filename to write a key to or standard output if this +option is not specified. If any encryption options are set then a pass phrase +will be prompted for. The output filename should B be the same as the input +filename. + +=item B<-passout password> + +the output file password source. For more information about the format of B +see the B section in L. + +=item B<-sgckey> + +use the modified NET algorithm used with some versions of Microsoft IIS and SGC +keys. + +=item B<-des|-des3|-idea> + +These options encrypt the private key with the DES, triple DES, or the +IDEA ciphers respectively before outputting it. A pass phrase is prompted for. +If none of these options is specified the key is written in plain text. This +means that using the B utility to read in an encrypted key with no +encryption option can be used to remove the pass phrase from a key, or by +setting the encryption options it can be use to add or change the pass phrase. +These options can only be used with PEM format output files. + +=item B<-text> + +prints out the various public or private key components in +plain text in addition to the encoded version. + +=item B<-noout> + +this option prevents output of the encoded version of the key. + +=item B<-modulus> + +this option prints out the value of the modulus of the key. + +=item B<-check> + +this option checks the consistency of an RSA private key. + +=item B<-pubin> + +by default a private key is read from the input file: with this +option a public key is read instead. + +=item B<-pubout> + +by default a private key is output: with this option a public +key will be output instead. This option is automatically set if +the input is a public key. + +=item B<-engine id> + +specifying an engine (by it's unique B string) will cause B +to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine, +thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default +for all available algorithms. + +=back + +=head1 NOTES + +The PEM private key format uses the header and footer lines: + + -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- + -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- + +The PEM public key format uses the header and footer lines: + + -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- + -----END PUBLIC KEY----- + +The B form is a format compatible with older Netscape servers +and Microsoft IIS .key files, this uses unsalted RC4 for its encryption. +It is not very secure and so should only be used when necessary. + +Some newer version of IIS have additional data in the exported .key +files. To use these with the utility, view the file with a binary editor +and look for the string "private-key", then trace back to the byte +sequence 0x30, 0x82 (this is an ASN1 SEQUENCE). Copy all the data +from this point onwards to another file and use that as the input +to the B utility with the B<-inform NET> option. If you get +an error after entering the password try the B<-sgckey> option. + +=head1 EXAMPLES + +To remove the pass phrase on an RSA private key: + + openssl rsa -in key.pem -out keyout.pem + +To encrypt a private key using triple DES: + + openssl rsa -in key.pem -des3 -out keyout.pem + +To convert a private key from PEM to DER format: + + openssl rsa -in key.pem -outform DER -out keyout.der + +To print out the components of a private key to standard output: + + openssl rsa -in key.pem -text -noout + +To just output the public part of a private key: + + openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem + +=head1 BUGS + +The command line password arguments don't currently work with +B format. + +There should be an option that automatically handles .key files, +without having to manually edit them. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, L, L, +L + +=cut -- cgit v1.2.3
