The OpenSSL operations and options are indicated below. .PP Unless otherwise mentioned all algorithms support the \fBdigest:\fR\fIalg\fR option which specifies the digest in use for sign, verify and verifyrecover operations. The value \fIalg\fR should represent a digest name as used in the \&\fIEVP_get_digestbyname()\fR function for example \fBsha1\fR. This value is not used to hash the input data. It is used (by some algorithms) for sanity-checking the lengths of data passed in and for creating the structures that make up the signature (e.g. \fBDigestInfo\fR in \s-1RSASSA\s0 PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures). .PP This command does not hash the input data (except where \-rawin is used) but rather it will use the data directly as input to the signature algorithm. Depending on the key type, signature type, and mode of padding, the maximum acceptable lengths of input data differ. The signed data can't be longer than the key modulus with \s-1RSA\s0. In case of \s-1ECDSA\s0 and \s-1DSA\s0 the data shouldn't be longer than the field size, otherwise it will be silently truncated to the field size. In any event the input size must not be larger than the largest supported digest size. .PP In other words, if the value of digest is \fBsha1\fR the input should be the 20 bytes long binary encoding of the \s-1SHA\-1\s0 hash function output. .SH "RSA ALGORITHM" .IX Header "RSA ALGORITHM" The \s-1RSA\s0 algorithm generally supports the encrypt, decrypt, sign, verify and verifyrecover operations. However, some padding modes support only a subset of these operations. The following additional \&\fBpkeyopt\fR values are supported: .IP "\fBrsa_padding_mode:\fR\fImode\fR" 4 .IX Item "rsa_padding_mode:mode" This sets the \s-1RSA\s0 padding mode. Acceptable values for \fImode\fR are \fBpkcs1\fR for PKCS#1 padding, \fBsslv23\fR for SSLv23 padding, \fBnone\fR for no padding, \fBoaep\fR for \fB\s-1OAEP\s0\fR mode, \fBx931\fR for X9.31 mode and \fBpss\fR for \s-1PSS\s0. .Sp In PKCS#1 padding if the message digest is not set then the supplied data is signed or verified directly instead of using a \fBDigestInfo\fR structure. If a digest is set then the a \fBDigestInfo\fR structure is used and its the length must correspond to the digest type. .Sp For \fBoaep\fR mode only encryption and decryption is supported. .Sp For \fBx931\fR if the digest type is set it is used to format the block data otherwise the first byte is used to specify the X9.31 digest \s-1ID\s0. Sign, verify and verifyrecover are can be performed in this mode. .Sp For \fBpss\fR mode only sign and verify are supported and the digest type must be specified. .IP "\fBrsa_pss_saltlen:\fR\fIlen\fR" 4 .IX Item "rsa_pss_saltlen:len" For \fBpss\fR mode only this option specifies the salt length. Three special values are supported: \fBdigest\fR sets the salt length to the digest length, \&\fBmax\fR sets the salt length to the maximum permissible value. When verifying \&\fBauto\fR causes the salt length to be automatically determined based on the \&\fB\s-1PSS\s0\fR block structure. .IP "\fBrsa_mgf1_md:\fR\fIdigest\fR" 4 .IX Item "rsa_mgf1_md:digest" For \s-1PSS\s0 and \s-1OAEP\s0 padding sets the \s-1MGF1\s0 digest. If the \s-1MGF1\s0 digest is not explicitly set in \s-1PSS\s0 mode then the signing digest is used. .SH "RSA-PSS ALGORITHM" .IX Header "RSA-PSS ALGORITHM" The RSA-PSS algorithm is a restricted version of the \s-1RSA\s0 algorithm which only supports the sign and verify operations with \s-1PSS\s0 padding. The following additional \fB\-pkeyopt\fR values are supported: .IP "\fBrsa_padding_mode:\fR\fImode\fR, \fBrsa_pss_saltlen:\fR\fIlen\fR, \fBrsa_mgf1_md:\fR\fIdigest\fR" 4 .IX Item "rsa_padding_mode:mode, rsa_pss_saltlen:len, rsa_mgf1_md:digest" These have the same meaning as the \fB\s-1RSA\s0\fR algorithm with some additional restrictions. The padding mode can only be set to \fBpss\fR which is the default value. .Sp If the key has parameter restrictions than the digest, \s-1MGF1\s0 digest and salt length are set to the values specified in the parameters. The digest and \s-1MG\s0 cannot be changed and the salt length cannot be set to a value less than the minimum restriction. .SH "DSA ALGORITHM" .IX Header "DSA ALGORITHM" The \s-1DSA\s0 algorithm supports signing and verification operations only. Currently there are no additional \fB\-pkeyopt\fR options other than \fBdigest\fR. The \s-1SHA1\s0 digest is assumed by default. .SH "DH ALGORITHM" .IX Header "DH ALGORITHM" The \s-1DH\s0 algorithm only supports the derivation operation and no additional \&\fB\-pkeyopt\fR options. .SH "EC ALGORITHM" .IX Header "EC ALGORITHM" The \s-1EC\s0 algorithm supports sign, verify and derive operations. The sign and verify operations use \s-1ECDSA\s0 and derive uses \s-1ECDH\s0. \s-1SHA1\s0 is assumed by default for the \fB\-pkeyopt\fR \fBdigest\fR option. .SH "X25519 AND X448 ALGORITHMS" .IX Header "X25519 AND X448 ALGORITHMS" The X25519 and X448 algorithms support key derivation only. Currently there are no additional options. .SH "ED25519 AND ED448 ALGORITHMS" .IX Header "ED25519 AND ED448 ALGORITHMS" These algorithms only support signing and verifying. OpenSSL only implements the \&\*(L"pure\*(R" variants of these algorithms so raw data can be passed directly to them without hashing them first. The option \fB\-rawin\fR must be used with these algorithms with no \fB\-digest\fR specified. Additionally OpenSSL only supports \&\*(L"oneshot\*(R" operation with these algorithms. This means that the entire file to be signed/verified must be read into memory before processing it. Signing or Verifying very large files should be avoided. Additionally the size of the file must be known for this to work. If the size of the file cannot be determined (for example if the input is stdin) then the sign or verify operation will fail. .SH "SM2" .IX Header "SM2" The \s-1SM2\s0 algorithm supports sign, verify, encrypt and decrypt operations. For the sign and verify operations, \s-1SM2\s0 requires an \s-1ID\s0 string to be passed in. The following \fB\-pkeyopt\fR value is supported: .IP "\fBsm2_id:\fR\fIstring\fR" 4 .IX Item "sm2_id:string" This sets the \s-1ID\s0 string used in \s-1SM2\s0 sign or verify operations. While verifying an \s-1SM2\s0 signature, the \s-1ID\s0 string must be the same one used when signing the data. Otherwise the verification will fail. .IP "\fBsm2_hex_id:\fR\fIhex_string\fR" 4 .IX Item "sm2_hex_id:hex_string" This sets the \s-1ID\s0 string used in \s-1SM2\s0 sign or verify operations. While verifying an \s-1SM2\s0 signature, the \s-1ID\s0 string must be the same one used when signing the data. Otherwise the verification will fail. The \s-1ID\s0 string provided with this option should be a valid hexadecimal value. .SH "EXAMPLES" .IX Header "EXAMPLES" Sign some data using a private key: .PP .Vb 1 \& openssl pkeyutl \-sign \-in file \-inkey key.pem \-out sig .Ve .PP Recover the signed data (e.g. if an \s-1RSA\s0 key is used): .PP .Vb 1 \& openssl pkeyutl \-verifyrecover \-in sig \-inkey key.pem .Ve .PP Verify the signature (e.g. a \s-1DSA\s0 key): .PP .Vb 1 \& openssl pkeyutl \-verify \-in file \-sigfile sig \-inkey key.pem .Ve .PP Sign data using a message digest value (this is currently only valid for \s-1RSA\s0): .PP .Vb 1 \& openssl pkeyutl \-sign \-in file \-inkey key.pem \-out sig \-pkeyopt digest:sha256 .Ve .PP Derive a shared secret value: .PP .Vb 1 \& openssl pkeyutl \-derive \-inkey key.pem \-peerkey pubkey.pem \-out secret .Ve .PP Hexdump 48 bytes of \s-1TLS1\s0 \s-1PRF\s0 using digest \fB\s-1SHA256\s0\fR and shared secret and seed consisting of the single byte 0xFF: .PP .Vb 2 \& openssl pkeyutl \-kdf TLS1\-PRF \-kdflen 48 \-pkeyopt md:SHA256 \e \& \-pkeyopt hexsecret:ff \-pkeyopt hexseed:ff \-hexdump .Ve .PP Derive a key using \fBscrypt\fR where the password is read from command line: .PP .Vb 2 \& openssl pkeyutl \-kdf scrypt \-kdflen 16 \-pkeyopt_passin pass \e \& \-pkeyopt hexsalt:aabbcc \-pkeyopt N:16384 \-pkeyopt r:8 \-pkeyopt p:1 .Ve .PP Derive using the same algorithm, but read key from environment variable \s-1MYPASS:\s0 .PP .Vb 2 \& openssl pkeyutl \-kdf scrypt \-kdflen 16 \-pkeyopt_passin pass:env:MYPASS \e \& \-pkeyopt hexsalt:aabbcc \-pkeyopt N:16384 \-pkeyopt r:8 \-pkeyopt p:1 .Ve .PP Sign some data using an \s-1\fISM2\s0\fR\|(7) private key and a specific \s-1ID:\s0 .PP .Vb 2 \& openssl pkeyutl \-sign \-in file \-inkey sm2.key \-out sig \-rawin \-digest sm3 \e \& \-pkeyopt sm2_id:someid .Ve .PP Verify some data using an \s-1\fISM2\s0\fR\|(7) certificate and a specific \s-1ID:\s0 .PP .Vb 2 \& openssl pkeyutl \-verify \-certin \-in file \-inkey sm2.cert \-sigfile sig \e \& \-rawin \-digest sm3 \-pkeyopt sm2_id:someid .Ve .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fIopenssl\fR\|(1), \&\fIopenssl\-genpkey\fR\|(1), \&\fIopenssl\-pkey\fR\|(1), \&\fIopenssl\-rsautl\fR\|(1) \&\fIopenssl\-dgst\fR\|(1), \&\fIopenssl\-rsa\fR\|(1), \&\fIopenssl\-genrsa\fR\|(1), \&\fIopenssl\-kdf\fR\|(1) \&\fIEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_hkdf_md\fR\|(3), \&\fIEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_tls1_prf_md\fR\|(3), .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2006\-2019 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
