<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p>OpenSSL is a cryptography toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL
v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) network protocols and related
cryptography standards required by them.</p>
<p>The <strong>openssl</strong> program is a command line tool for using the various
cryptography functions of OpenSSL's <strong>crypto</strong> library from the shell.
It can be used for</p>
<pre>
o Creation and management of private keys, public keys and parameters
o Public key cryptographic operations
o Creation of X.509 certificates, CSRs and CRLs
o Calculation of Message Digests and Message Authentication Codes
o Encryption and Decryption with Ciphers
o SSL/TLS Client and Server Tests
o Handling of S/MIME signed or encrypted mail
o Timestamp requests, generation and verification</pre>
<p>
</p>

<h1><a name="command_summary">COMMAND SUMMARY</a></h1>
<p>The <strong>openssl</strong> program provides a rich variety of commands (<em>command</em> in
the <a href="#synopsis">SYNOPSIS</a> above).
Each command can have many options and argument parameters, shown above as
<em>options</em> and <em>parameters</em>.</p>
<p>Detailed documentation and use cases for most standard subcommands are available
(e.g., <a href="#x509">openssl-x509(1)</a>).</p>
<p>Many commands use an external configuration file for some or all of their
arguments and have a <strong>-config</strong> option to specify that file.
The default name of the file is <em class="file">openssl.cnf</em> in the default certificate
storage area, which can be determined from the <a href="#version">openssl-version(1)</a>
command.
The environment variable <strong>OPENSSL_CONF</strong> can be used to specify
a different location of the file.
See <em>openssl-env(7)</em>.</p>
<p>The list options <strong>-standard-commands</strong>, <strong>-digest-commands</strong>,
and <strong>-cipher-commands</strong> output a list (one entry per line) of the names
of all standard commands, message digest commands, or cipher commands,
respectively, that are available.</p>
<p>The list parameters <strong>-cipher-algorithms</strong>, <strong>-digest-algorithms</strong>,
and <strong>-mac-algorithms</strong> list all cipher, message digest, and message
authentication code names, one entry per line. Aliases are listed as:</p>
<pre>
from =&gt; to</pre>
<p>The list parameter <strong>-public-key-algorithms</strong> lists all supported public
key algorithms.</p>
<p>The command <strong>no-</strong><em>XXX</em> tests whether a command of the
specified name is available. If no command named <em>XXX</em> exists, it
returns 0 (success) and prints <strong>no-</strong><em>XXX</em>; otherwise it returns 1
and prints <em>XXX</em>. In both cases, the output goes to <strong>stdout</strong> and
nothing is printed to <strong>stderr</strong>. Additional command line arguments
are always ignored. Since for each cipher there is a command of the
same name, this provides an easy way for shell scripts to test for the
availability of ciphers in the <strong>openssl</strong> program. (<strong>no-</strong><em>XXX</em> is
not able to detect pseudo-commands such as <strong>quit</strong>,
<strong>list</strong>, or <strong>no-</strong><em>XXX</em> itself.)</p>

<h2><a name="pass_phrase_options">Pass Phrase Options</a></h2>
<p>Several commands accept password arguments, typically using <strong>-passin</strong>
and <strong>-passout</strong> for input and output passwords respectively. These allow
the password to be obtained from a variety of sources. Both of these
options take a single argument whose format is described below. If no
password argument is given and a password is required then the user is
prompted to enter one: this will typically be read from the current
terminal with echoing turned off.</p>
<p>Note that character encoding may be relevant, please see

<dl>
<dt><strong><a name="pass_password" class="item"><strong>pass:</strong><em>password</em></a></strong></dt>

<h2><a name="trusted_certificate_options">Trusted Certificate Options</a></h2>
<p>Part of validating a certificate includes verifying that the chain of CA's
can be traced up to an existing trusted root. The following options specify
how to list the trusted roots, also known as trust anchors. A collection
of trusted roots is called a <em>trust store</em>.</p>
<p>Note that OpenSSL does not provide a default set of trust anchors. Many
Linux distributions include a system default and configure OpenSSL to point
to that. Mozilla maintains an influential trust store that can be found at
<a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/security-group/certs/">https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/security-group/certs/</a>.</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong><a name="cafile_file" class="item"><strong>-CAfile</strong> <em>file</em></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Load the specified file which contains one or more PEM-format certificates
of CA's that are trusted.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="no_cafile" class="item"><strong>-no-CAfile</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Do not load the default file of trusted certificates.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="capath_dir" class="item"><strong>-CApath</strong> <em>dir</em></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Use the specified directory as a list of trust certificates. That is,
files should be named with the hash of the X.509 SubjectName of each
certificate. This is so that the library can extract the IssuerName,
hash it, and directly lookup the file to get the issuer certificate.
See <a href="#rehash">openssl-rehash(1)</a> for information on creating this type of directory.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="no_capath" class="item"><strong>-no-CApath</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Do not use the default directory of trusted certificates.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="castore_uri" class="item"><strong>-CAstore</strong> <em>uri</em></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Use <em>uri</em> as a store of trusted CA certificates. The URI may
indicate a single certificate, as well as a collection of them.
With URIs in the <code>file:</code> scheme, this acts as <strong>-CAfile</strong> or
<strong>-CApath</strong>, depending on if the URI indicates a single file or
directory.
See <em>ossl_store-file(7)</em> for more information on the <code>file:</code> scheme.</p>
<p>These certificates are also used when building the server certificate
chain (for example with <a href="#s_server">openssl-s_server(1)</a>) or client certificate
chain (for example with <a href="#s_time">openssl-s_time(1)</a>).</p>
</dd>

<h2><a name="random_state_options">Random State Options</a></h2>
<p>Prior to OpenSSL 3.0, it was common for applications to store information
about the state of the random-number generator in a file that was loaded
at startup and rewritten upon exit. On modern operating systems, this is
generally no longer necessary as OpenSSL will seed itself from the
appropriate CPU flags, device files, and so on. These flags are still
supported for special platforms or circumstances that might require them.</p>
<p>It is generally an error to use the same seed file more than once and
every use of <strong>-rand</strong> should be paired with <strong>-writerand</strong>.</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong><a name="rand_files" class="item"><strong>-rand</strong> <em>files</em></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>A file or files containing random data used to seed the random number
generator.
Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-dependent character.
The separator is <code>;</code> for MS-Windows, <code>,</code> for OpenVMS, and <code>:</code> for
all others. Another way to specify multiple files is to repeat this flag
with different filenames.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="writerand_file" class="item"><strong>-writerand</strong> <em>file</em></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Writes the seed data to the specified <em>file</em> upon exit.
This file can be used in a subsequent command invocation.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>
</p>
<h2><a name="extended_verification_options">Extended Verification Options</a></h2>
<p>Sometimes there may be more than one certificate chain leading to an
end-entity certificate.
This usually happens when a root or intermediate CA signs a certificate
for another a CA in other organization.
Another reason is when a CA might have intermediates that use two different
signature formats, such as a SHA-1 and a SHA-256 digest.</p>
<p>The following options can be used to provide data that will allow the
OpenSSL command to generate an alternative chain.</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong><a name="xchain_build" class="item"><strong>-xchain_build</strong></a></strong></dt>

<h2><a name="verification_options">Verification Options</a></h2>
<p>Many OpenSSL commands verify certificates. The details of how each
command handles errors are documented on the specific command page.</p>
<p>Verification is a complicated process, consisting of a number of separate
steps that are detailed in the following paragraphs.</p>
<p>First, a certificate chain is built up starting from the supplied certificate
and ending in a root CA. It is an error if the whole chain cannot be
built up. The chain is built up by looking up the certificate that
signed (or issued) the certificate. It then repeats the process, until
it gets to a certificate that is self-issued.</p>
<p>The process of looking up the issuer's certificate itself involves a number
of steps. After all certificates whose subject name matches the issuer
name of the current certificate are subject to further tests. The relevant
authority key identifier components of the current certificate (if present)
must match the subject key identifier (if present) and issuer and serial
number of the candidate issuer, in addition the keyUsage extension of the
candidate issuer (if present) must permit certificate signing.</p>
<p>The lookup first looks in the list of untrusted certificates and if no match
is found the remaining lookups are from the trusted certificates. The root CA
is always looked up in the trusted certificate list: if the certificate to
verify is a root certificate then an exact match must be found in the trusted
list.</p>
<p>The second step is to check every untrusted certificate's extensions
for consistency with the supplied purpose. If the <strong>-purpose</strong> option is
not included then no checks are done. The supplied or &quot;leaf&quot; certificate
must have extensions compatible with the supplied purpose and all other
certificates must also be valid CA certificates. The precise extensions
required are described in more detail in
<em>openssl-x509(1)/CERTIFICATE EXTENSIONS</em>.</p>
<p>The third step is to check the trust settings on the root CA. The root
CA should be trusted for the supplied purpose. For compatibility with
previous versions of OpenSSL, a certificate with no trust settings is
considered to be valid for all purposes.</p>
<p>The fourth, and final, step is to check the validity of the certificate
chain. The validity period is checked against the system time
and the <code>notBefore</code> and <code>notAfter</code> dates in the certificate. The certificate
signatures are also checked at this point. The <strong>-attime</strong> flag may be
used to specify a time other than &quot;now.&quot;</p>
<p>If all operations complete successfully then certificate is considered
valid. If any operation fails then the certificate is not valid.</p>
<p>The details of the processing steps can be fine-tuned with the
following flags.</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong><a name="verbose" class="item"><strong>-verbose</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Print extra information about the operations being performed.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="attime_timestamp" class="item"><strong>-attime</strong> <em>timestamp</em></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Perform validation checks using time specified by <em>timestamp</em> and not
current system time. <em>timestamp</em> is the number of seconds since
January 1, 1970 (i.e., the Unix Epoch).</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="no_check_time" class="item"><strong>-no_check_time</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This option suppresses checking the validity period of certificates and CRLs
against the current time. If option <strong>-attime</strong> is used to specify
a verification time, the check is not suppressed.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="x509_strict" class="item"><strong>-x509_strict</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>This disables non-compliant workarounds for broken certificates.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="ignore_critical" class="item"><strong>-ignore_critical</strong></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Normally if an unhandled critical extension is present which is not
supported by OpenSSL the certificate is rejected (as required by <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5280.txt" class="rfc">RFC5280</a>).
If this option is set critical extensions are ignored.</p>

See <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6460.txt" class="rfc">RFC6460</a> for details. In particular the supported signature algorithms are

P-256 and P-384.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="auth_level_level" class="item"><strong>-auth_level</strong> <em>level</em></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Set the certificate chain authentication security level to <em>level</em>.
The authentication security level determines the acceptable signature and
public key strength when verifying certificate chains. For a certificate
chain to validate, the public keys of all the certificates must meet the
specified security <em>level</em>. The signature algorithm security level is
enforced for all the certificates in the chain except for the chain's
<em>trust anchor</em>, which is either directly trusted or validated by means
other than its signature. See <em>SSL_CTX_set_security_level(3)</em> for the
definitions of the available levels. The default security level is -1,
or &quot;not set&quot;. At security level 0 or lower all algorithms are acceptable.
Security level 1 requires at least 80-bit-equivalent security and is broadly
interoperable, though it will, for example, reject MD5 signatures or RSA
keys shorter than 1024 bits.</p>

<p>Use default verification policies like trust model and required certificate
policies identified by <em>name</em>.
The trust model determines which auxiliary trust or reject OIDs are applicable
to verifying the given certificate chain.
See the <strong>-addtrust</strong> and <strong>-addreject</strong> options for <a href="#x509">openssl-x509(1)</a>.
Supported policy names include: <strong>default</strong>, <strong>pkcs7</strong>, <strong>smime_sign</strong>,
<strong>ssl_client</strong>, <strong>ssl_server</strong>.
These mimics the combinations of purpose and trust settings used in SSL, CMS
and S/MIME.
As of OpenSSL 1.1.0, the trust model is inferred from the purpose when not
specified, so the <strong>-verify_name</strong> options are functionally equivalent to the
corresponding <strong>-purpose</strong> settings.</p>

<h2><a name="name_format_options">Name Format Options</a></h2>
<p>OpenSSL provides fine-grain control over how the subject and issuer DN's are
displayed.
This is specified by using the <strong>-nameopt</strong> option, which takes a
comma-separated list of options from the following set.
An option may be preceded by a minus sign, <code>-</code>, to turn it off.
The default value is <a href="#oneline"><code>oneline</code></a>.
The first four are the most commonly used.</p>

Relative Distinguished Names (RDNs) and the second is between
multiple Attribute Value Assertions (AVAs). Multiple AVAs are
very rare and their use is discouraged.
The options ending in &quot;space&quot; additionally place a space after the separator to make it more readable.
The <strong>sep_multiline</strong> starts each field on its own line, and uses &quot;plus space&quot;

<strong>sname</strong> uses the &quot;short name&quot; form (CN for commonName for example).
<strong>lname</strong> uses the long form.
<strong>oid</strong> represents the OID in numerical form and is useful for
diagnostic purpose.</p>
