The documentation says some commands care, but the code says differently.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The B<rsa> command processes RSA keys. They can be converted between various
|
|
forms and their components printed out. B<Note> 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<pkcs8>
|
|
utility.
|
|
|
|
=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 the PKCS#1 RSAPrivateKey or SubjectPublicKeyInfo format.
|
|
The B<PEM> form is the default format: it consists of the B<DER> format base64
|
|
encoded with additional header and footer lines. On input PKCS#8 format private
|
|
keys are also accepted.
|
|
|
|
=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 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<arg>
|
|
see the B<PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS> section in L<openssl(1)>.
|
|
|
|
=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<not> be the same as the input
|
|
filename.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-passout password>
|
|
|
|
The output file password source. For more information about the format of B<arg>
|
|
see the B<PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS> section in L<openssl(1)>.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-aes128>, B<-aes192>, B<-aes256>, B<-aria128>, B<-aria192>, B<-aria256>, B<-camellia128>, B<-camellia192>, B<-camellia256>, B<-des>, B<-des3>, B<-idea>
|
|
|
|
These options encrypt the private key with the specified
|
|
cipher 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<rsa> 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<-RSAPublicKey_in>, B<-RSAPublicKey_out>
|
|
|
|
Like B<-pubin> and B<-pubout> except B<RSAPublicKey> format is used instead.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-engine id>
|
|
|
|
Specifying an engine (by its unique B<id> string) will cause B<rsa>
|
|
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.

=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 PEM B<RSAPublicKey> format uses the header and footer lines:
|
|
|
|
-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
|
|
-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
|
|
|
|
=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
|
|
|
|
Output the public part of a private key in B<RSAPublicKey> format:
|
|
|
|
openssl rsa -in key.pem -RSAPublicKey_out -out pubkey.pem
|
|
|
|
=head1 BUGS
|
|
|
|
There should be an option that automatically handles .key files,
|
|
without having to manually edit them.
