.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This command processes public or private keys. They can be
converted between various forms and their components printed out.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "-help"
Print out a usage message.
.IP "\fB\-inform\fR \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR|\fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR, \fB\-outform\fR \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR|\fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "-inform DER|PEM, -outform DER|PEM"
The input and formats; the default is \fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR.
See \*(L"Format Options\*(R" in \fIopenssl\fR\|(1) for details.
.IP "\fB\-in\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
.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\-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\-out\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-out filename"
This specifies the output filename to write a key to or standard output if this
option 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\-traditional\fR" 4
.IX Item "-traditional"
Normally a private key is written using standard format: this is PKCS#8 form
with the appropriate encryption algorithm (if any). If the \fB\-traditional\fR
option is specified then the older \*(L"traditional\*(R" format is used instead.
.IP "\fB\-\f(BIcipher\fB\fR" 4
.IX Item "-cipher"
These options encrypt the private key with the supplied cipher. Any algorithm
name accepted by \fIEVP_get_cipherbyname()\fR is acceptable such as \fBdes3\fR.
.IP "\fB\-text\fR" 4
.IX Item "-text"
Prints out the various public or private key components in
plain text in addition to the encoded version.
.IP "\fB\-text_pub\fR" 4
.IX Item "-text_pub"
Print out only public key components even if a private key is being processed.
.IP "\fB\-noout\fR" 4
.IX Item "-noout"
Do not output 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\-check\fR" 4
.IX Item "-check"
This option checks the consistency of a key pair for both public and private
components.
.IP "\fB\-pubcheck\fR" 4
.IX Item "-pubcheck"
This option checks the correctness of either a public key or the public component
of a key pair.
.IP "\fB\-ec_conv_form\fR \fIarg\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ec_conv_form arg"
This option only applies to elliptic curve based public and private keys.
.Sp
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\-ec_param_enc\fR \fIarg\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ec_param_enc arg"
This option only applies to elliptic curve based public and private keys.
.Sp
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\-engine\fR \fIid\fR" 4
.IX Item "-engine id"
See \*(L"Engine Options\*(R" in \fIopenssl\fR\|(1).
