<p>This command processes Netscape signed public key and challenge
(SPKAC) files. It can print out their contents, verify the signature and
produce its own SPKACs from a supplied private key.</p>

<h1><a name="notes">NOTES</a></h1>
<p>A created SPKAC with suitable DN components appended can be fed to
<em>openssl-ca(1)</em>.</p>
<p>SPKACs are typically generated by Netscape when a form is submitted
containing the <strong>KEYGEN</strong> tag as part of the certificate enrollment
process.</p>
<p>The challenge string permits a primitive form of proof of possession
of private key. By checking the SPKAC signature and a random challenge
string some guarantee is given that the user knows the private key
corresponding to the public key being certified. This is important in
some applications. Without this it is possible for a previous SPKAC
to be used in a &quot;replay attack&quot;.</p>
