35 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
36 | ||
35a810bb RL |
37 | This command processes public or private keys. They can be |
38 | converted between various forms and their components printed out. | |

50 | The input and formats; the default is B<PEM>. |
51 | See L<openssl(1)/Format Options> for details. | |
49131a7d | 52 | |
e8769719 | 53 | =item B<-in> I<filename> |
49131a7d DSH |
54 | |
55 | This specifies the input filename to read a key from or standard input if this | |
56 | option is not specified. If the key is encrypted a pass phrase will be | |
57 | prompted for. | |
58 | ||
3a4e43de | 59 | =item B<-passin> I<arg>, B<-passout> I<arg> |
49131a7d | 60 | |
3a4e43de RS |
61 | The password source for the input and output file. |
62 | For more information about the format of B<arg> | |
63 | see L<openssl(1)/Pass Phrase Options>. | |
49131a7d | 64 | |
e8769719 | 65 | =item B<-out> I<filename> |
49131a7d DSH |
66 | |
67 | This specifies the output filename to write a key to or standard output if this | |
68 | option is not specified. If any encryption options are set then a pass phrase | |
69 | will be prompted for. The output filename should B<not> be the same as the input | |
70 | filename. | |
71 | ||
05dba815 DSH |
72 | =item B<-traditional> |
73 | ||
c4de074e | 74 | Normally a private key is written using standard format: this is PKCS#8 form |
05dba815 DSH |
75 | with the appropriate encryption algorithm (if any). If the B<-traditional> |
76 | option is specified then the older "traditional" format is used instead. | |
77 | ||
8dc57d76 | 78 | =item B<-I<cipher>> |
49131a7d DSH |
79 | |
80 | These options encrypt the private key with the supplied cipher. Any algorithm | |
81 | name accepted by EVP_get_cipherbyname() is acceptable such as B<des3>. | |
82 | ||
83 | =item B<-text> | |
84 | ||
c4de074e | 85 | Prints out the various public or private key components in |
1bc74519 | 86 | plain text in addition to the encoded version. |
49131a7d DSH |
87 | |
88 | =item B<-text_pub> | |
89 | ||
c4de074e | 90 | Print out only public key components even if a private key is being processed. |
49131a7d DSH |
91 | |
92 | =item B<-noout> | |
93 | ||
c4de074e | 94 | Do not output the encoded version of the key. |
49131a7d DSH |
95 | |
96 | =item B<-pubin> | |
97 | ||
c4de074e | 98 | By default a private key is read from the input file: with this |
49131a7d DSH |
99 | option a public key is read instead. |
100 | ||
101 | =item B<-pubout> | |
102 | ||
c4de074e | 103 | By default a private key is output: with this option a public |
49131a7d DSH |
104 | key will be output instead. This option is automatically set if |
105 | the input is a public key. | |
106 | ||
2aee35d3 PY |
107 | =item B<-check> |
108 | ||
109 | This option checks the consistency of a key pair for both public and private | |
110 | components. | |
111 | ||
b0004708 PY |
112 | =item B<-pubcheck> |
113 | ||
114 | This option checks the correctness of either a public key or the public component | |
115 | of a key pair. | |

121 | =head1 EXAMPLES | |
122 | ||
35eb4588 | 123 | To remove the pass phrase on a private key: |
49131a7d DSH |
124 | |
125 | openssl pkey -in key.pem -out keyout.pem | |
126 | ||
127 | To encrypt a private key using triple DES: | |
128 | ||
129 | openssl pkey -in key.pem -des3 -out keyout.pem | |
130 | ||
1bc74519 | 131 | To convert a private key from PEM to DER format: |
49131a7d DSH |
132 | |
133 | openssl pkey -in key.pem -outform DER -out keyout.der | |
134 | ||
135 | To print out the components of a private key to standard output: | |
136 | ||
137 | openssl pkey -in key.pem -text -noout | |
138 | ||
139 | To print out the public components of a private key to standard output: | |
140 | ||
141 | openssl pkey -in key.pem -text_pub -noout | |
142 | ||
143 | To just output the public part of a private key: | |
144 | ||
145 | openssl pkey -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem | |
