|
This command has been deprecated.
|
|
The \fIopenssl\-genpkey\fR\|(1) and \fIopenssl\-pkeyparam\fR\|(1) commands
|
|
should be used instead.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This command is used to manipulate or generate \s-1EC\s0 parameter files.
|
|
.PP
|
|
OpenSSL is currently not able to generate new groups and therefore
|
|
this command can only create \s-1EC\s0 parameters from known (named) curves.

Parameters are encoded as \fBEcpkParameters\fR as specified in \s-1IETF\s0 \s-1RFC\s0 3279.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-in\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-in filename"
|
|
This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if
|
|
this option is not specified.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-out\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-out filename"
|
|
This specifies the output filename parameters to. Standard output is used
|
|
if this option is not present. The output filename should \fBnot\fR be the same
|
|
as the input filename.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-noout\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-noout"
|
|
This option inhibits the output of the encoded version of the parameters.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-text\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-text"
|
|
This option prints out the \s-1EC\s0 parameters in human readable form.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-C\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-C"
|
|
This option converts the \s-1EC\s0 parameters into C code. The parameters can then
|
|
be loaded by calling the \fIget_ec_group_XXX()\fR function.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-check\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-check"
|
|
Validate the elliptic curve parameters.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-check_named\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-check_named"
|
|
Validate the elliptic name curve parameters by checking if the curve parameters
|
|
match any built-in curves.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-name\fR \fIarg\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-name arg"
|
|
Use the \s-1EC\s0 parameters with the specified 'short' name. Use \fB\-list_curves\fR
|
|
to get a list of all currently implemented \s-1EC\s0 parameters.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-list_curves\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-list_curves"
|
|
Print out a list of all currently implemented \s-1EC\s0 parameters names and exit.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-conv_form\fR \fIarg\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-conv_form arg"
|
|
This specifies how the points on the elliptic curve are converted
|
|
into octet strings. Possible values are: \fBcompressed\fR, \fBuncompressed\fR (the
|
|
default value) 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
|
|
\&\s-1EC\s0 parameters structures). The default value is \fBnamed_curve\fR.
|
|
\&\fBNote\fR the \fBimplicitlyCA\fR alternative, as specified in \s-1RFC\s0 3279,
|
|
is currently not implemented in OpenSSL.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-no_seed\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-no_seed"
|
|
This option inhibits that the 'seed' for the parameter generation
|
|
is included in the ECParameters structure (see \s-1RFC\s0 3279).
|
|
.IP "\fB\-genkey\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-genkey"
|
|
This option will generate an \s-1EC\s0 private key using the specified parameters.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-engine\fR \fIid\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-engine id"
|
|
See \*(L"Engine Options\*(R" in \fIopenssl\fR\|(1).
