=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The B<pkey> command processes public or private keys. They can be converted
|
|
between various forms and their components printed out.
|
|
|
|
=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item B<-help>
|
|
|
|
Print out a usage message.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-inform DER|PEM>
|
|
|
|
This specifies the input format DER or PEM. The default format is PEM.
|
|
|
|
=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<-traditional>
|
|
|
|
Normally a private key is written using standard format: this is PKCS#8 form
|
|
with the appropriate encryption algorithm (if any). If the B<-traditional>
|
|
option is specified then the older "traditional" format is used instead.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-I<cipher>>
|
|
|
|
These options encrypt the private key with the supplied cipher. Any algorithm
|
|
name accepted by EVP_get_cipherbyname() is acceptable such as B<des3>.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-text>
|
|
|
|
Prints out the various public or private key components in
|
|
plain text in addition to the encoded version.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-text_pub>
|
|
|
|
Print out only public key components even if a private key is being processed.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-noout>
|
|
|
|
Do not output the encoded version of the 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 its unique B<id> string) will cause B<pkey>
|
|
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<-check>
|
|
|
|
This option checks the consistency of a key pair for both public and private
|
|
components.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-pubcheck>
|
|
|
|
This option checks the correctness of either a public key or the public component
|
|
of a key pair.
|
|

=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
To remove the pass phrase on an RSA private key:
|
|
|
|
openssl pkey -in key.pem -out keyout.pem
|
|
|
|
To encrypt a private key using triple DES:
|
|
|
|
openssl pkey -in key.pem -des3 -out keyout.pem
|
|
|
|
To convert a private key from PEM to DER format:
|
|
|
|
openssl pkey -in key.pem -outform DER -out keyout.der
|
|
|
|
To print out the components of a private key to standard output:
|
|
|
|
openssl pkey -in key.pem -text -noout
|
|
|
|
To print out the public components of a private key to standard output:
|
|
|
|
openssl pkey -in key.pem -text_pub -noout
|
|
|
|
To just output the public part of a private key:
|
|
|
|
openssl pkey -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
