The \fIopenssl\-ec\fR\|(1) command processes \s-1EC\s0 keys. They can be converted between
|
|
various forms and their components printed out. \fBNote\fR OpenSSL uses the
|
|
private key format specified in '\s-1SEC\s0 1: Elliptic Curve Cryptography'
|
|
(http://www.secg.org/). To convert an OpenSSL \s-1EC\s0 private key into the

|
PKCS#8 private key format use the \fIopenssl\-pkcs8\fR\|(1) command.

Private keys are an \s-1SEC1\s0 private key or PKCS#8 format.

Public keys are a \fBSubjectPublicKeyInfo\fR as specified in \s-1IETF\s0 \s-1RFC\s0 3280.

.IX Item "-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.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-out\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-out filename"
|
|
This specifies the output filename to write a key to or standard output by
|
|
is not specified. If any encryption options are set then a pass phrase will be
|
|
prompted for. The output filename should \fBnot\fR be the same as the input
|

filename.

|
.IP "\fB\-passin\fR \fIarg\fR, \fB\-passout\fR \fIarg\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-passin arg, -passout arg"
|

The password source for the input and output file.

For more information about the format of \fBarg\fR
|

see \*(L"Pass Phrase Options\*(R" in \fIopenssl\fR\|(1).
|
|
.IP "\fB\-des\fR|\fB\-des3\fR|\fB\-idea\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-des|-des3|-idea"
|
|
These options encrypt the private key with the \s-1DES\s0, triple \s-1DES\s0, \s-1IDEA\s0 or
|
|
any other cipher supported by OpenSSL 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 this command 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 \s-1PEM\s0 format output files.

|
|
This option prevents output of the encoded version of the key.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-pubin\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-pubin"
|
|
By default, a private key is read from the input file. With this option a
|
|
public key is read instead.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-pubout\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-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.
|

.IP "\fB\-conv_form\fR \fIarg\fR" 4

This specifies how the points on the elliptic curve are converted

into octet strings. Possible values are: \fBcompressed\fR (the default
|
|
value), \fBuncompressed\fR and \fBhybrid\fR. For more information regarding
|
|
the point conversion forms please read the X9.62 standard.
|
|
\&\fBNote\fR Due to patent issues the \fBcompressed\fR option is disabled
|
|
by default for binary curves and can be enabled by defining
|
|
the preprocessor macro \fB\s-1OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP\s0\fR at compile time.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-param_enc\fR \fIarg\fR" 4
|

.IX Item "-param_enc arg"
|
|
This specifies how the elliptic curve parameters are encoded.
|
|
Possible value are: \fBnamed_curve\fR, i.e. the ec parameters are
|
|
specified by an \s-1OID\s0, or \fBexplicit\fR where the ec parameters are
|
|
explicitly given (see \s-1RFC\s0 3279 for the definition of the
