Other commands like 'req' support -verbose, so why not gendsa and dsaparam? Part of a larger and more ambitious effort to add -verbose to all apps that might be used in scripts and need to otherwise run silently (well, without belching out anything that isn't a warning or error... which ties into a later scrub of using STDOUT were appropriate for informative messages instead of STDERR)... so that scripts also have the option of doing >/dev/null without losing anything critical.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This command is used to manipulate or generate DSA parameter files.
|
|
|
|
=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item B<-help>
|
|
|
|
Print out a usage message.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-inform DER|PEM>
|
|
|
|
This specifies the input format. The B<DER> option uses an ASN1 DER encoded
|
|
form compatible with RFC2459 (PKIX) DSS-Parms that is a SEQUENCE consisting
|
|
of p, q and g respectively. The PEM form is the default format: it consists
|
|
of the B<DER> format base64 encoded with additional header and footer lines.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-outform DER|PEM>
|
|
|
|
This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning and default
|
|
as the B<-inform> option.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-in filename>
|
|
|
|
This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if
|
|
this option is not specified. If the B<numbits> parameter is included then
|
|
this option will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-out filename>
|
|
|
|
This specifies the output filename parameters to. Standard output is used
|
|
if this option is not present. The output filename should B<not> be the same
|
|
as the input filename.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-noout>
|
|
|
|
This option inhibits the output of the encoded version of the parameters.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-text>
|
|
|
|
This option prints out the DSA parameters in human readable form.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-C>
|
|
|
|
This option converts the parameters into C code. The parameters can then
|
|
be loaded by calling the get_dsaXXX() function.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-genkey>
|
|
|
|
This option will generate a DSA either using the specified or generated
|
|
parameters.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-rand file...>
|
|
|
|
A file or files containing random data used to seed the random number
|
|
generator.
|
|
Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-dependent character.
|
|
The separator is B<;> for MS-Windows, B<,> for OpenVMS, and B<:> for
|
|
all others.
|
|
|
|
=item [B<-writerand file>]
|
|
|
|
Writes random data to the specified I<file> upon exit.
|
|
This can be used with a subsequent B<-rand> flag.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-engine id>
|
|
|
|
Specifying an engine (by its unique B<id> string) will cause B<dsaparam>
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-verbose>
|
|
|
|
Print extra details about the operations being performed.
|
|
|
|
=item B<numbits>
|
|
|
|
This option specifies that a parameter set should be generated of size
|
|
B<numbits>. It must be the last option. If this option is included then
|
|
the input file (if any) is ignored.
|
|

=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
PEM format DSA parameters use the header and footer lines:
|
|
|
|
-----BEGIN DSA PARAMETERS-----
|
|
-----END DSA PARAMETERS-----
|
|
|
|
DSA parameter generation is a slow process and as a result the same set of
|
|
DSA parameters is often used to generate several distinct keys.
