|  |  | 
|  | =head1 DESCRIPTION | 
|  |  | 
|  | 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. | 
|  |  | 
|  | The B<openssl> program is a command line tool for using the various | 
|  | cryptography functions of OpenSSL's B<crypto> library from the shell. | 
|  | It can be used for | 
|  |  | 
|  | 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 | 
|  | o  Encryption and Decryption with Ciphers | 
|  | o  SSL/TLS Client and Server Tests | 
|  | o  Handling of S/MIME signed or encrypted mail | 
|  | o  Time Stamp requests, generation and verification | 
|  |  | 
|  | =head1 COMMAND SUMMARY | 
|  |  | 
|  | The B<openssl> program provides a rich variety of commands (I<command> in the | 
|  | SYNOPSIS above), each of which often has a wealth of options and arguments | 
|  | (I<command_opts> and I<command_args> in the SYNOPSIS). | 
|  |  | 
|  | Detailed documentation and use cases for most standard subcommands are available | 
|  | (e.g., L<x509(1)> or L<openssl-x509(1)>). | 
|  |  | 
|  | Many commands use an external configuration file for some or all of their | 
|  | arguments and have a B<-config> option to specify that file. | 
|  | The environment variable B<OPENSSL_CONF> can be used to specify | 
|  | the location of the file. | 
|  | If the environment variable is not specified, then the file is named | 
|  | B<openssl.cnf> in the default certificate storage area, whose value | 
|  | depends on the configuration flags specified when the OpenSSL | 
|  | was built. | 
|  |  | 
|  | The list parameters B<standard-commands>, B<digest-commands>, | 
|  | and B<cipher-commands> output a list (one entry per line) of the names | 
|  | of all standard commands, message digest commands, or cipher commands, | 
|  | respectively, that are available in the present B<openssl> utility. | 
|  |  | 
|  | The list parameters B<cipher-algorithms> and | 
|  | B<digest-algorithms> list all cipher and message digest names, one entry per line. Aliases are listed as: | 
|  |  | 
|  | from => to | 
|  |  | 
|  | The list parameter B<public-key-algorithms> lists all supported public | 
|  | key algorithms. | 
|  |  | 
|  | The command B<no->I<XXX> tests whether a command of the | 
|  | specified name is available.  If no command named I<XXX> exists, it | 
|  | returns 0 (success) and prints B<no->I<XXX>; otherwise it returns 1 | 
|  | and prints I<XXX>.  In both cases, the output goes to B<stdout> and | 
|  | nothing is printed to B<stderr>.  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 B<openssl> program.  (B<no->I<XXX> is | 
|  | not able to detect pseudo-commands such as B<quit>, | 
|  | B<list>, or B<no->I<XXX> itself.) |

|  | =head2 Pass Phrase Options | 
|  |  | 
|  | Several commands accept password arguments, typically using B<-passin> | 
|  | and B<-passout> 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. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Note that character encoding may be relevant, please see | 
|  | L<passphrase-encoding(7)>. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =over 4 | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<pass:password> | 
|  |  | 
|  | The actual password is B<password>. Since the password is visible | 
|  | to utilities (like 'ps' under Unix) this form should only be used | 
|  | where security is not important. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<env:var> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Obtain the password from the environment variable B<var>. Since | 
|  | the environment of other processes is visible on certain platforms | 
|  | (e.g. ps under certain Unix OSes) this option should be used with caution. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<file:pathname> | 
|  |  | 
|  | The first line of B<pathname> is the password. If the same B<pathname> | 
|  | argument is supplied to B<-passin> and B<-passout> arguments then the first | 
|  | line will be used for the input password and the next line for the output | 
|  | password. B<pathname> need not refer to a regular file: it could for example | 
|  | refer to a device or named pipe. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<fd:number> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Read the password from the file descriptor B<number>. This can be used to | 
|  | send the data via a pipe for example. | 
|  |  | 
|  | =item B<stdin> | 
|  |  | 
|  | Read the password from standard input. |
