.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
This command is used to manipulate \s-1DH\s0 parameter files.
|
|
.SH "OPTIONS"
|
|
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
|
|
.Ip "\fB\-inform DER|PEM\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-inform DER|PEM"
|
|
This specifies the input format. The \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR option uses an \s-1ASN1\s0 \s-1DER\s0 encoded
|
|
form compatible with the PKCS#3 DHparameter structure. The \s-1PEM\s0 form is the
|
|
default format: it consists of the \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR format base64 encoded with
|
|
additional header and footer lines.
|
|
.Ip "\fB\-outform DER|PEM\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-outform DER|PEM"
|
|
This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning as the
|
|
\&\fB\-inform\fR option.
|
|
.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\-dsaparam\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-dsaparam"
|
|
If this option is used, \s-1DSA\s0 rather than \s-1DH\s0 parameters are read or created;
|
|
they are converted to \s-1DH\s0 format. Otherwise, \*(L"strong\*(R" primes (such
|
|
that (p-1)/2 is also prime) will be used for \s-1DH\s0 parameter generation.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
\&\s-1DH\s0 parameter generation with the \fB\-dsaparam\fR option is much faster,
|
|
and the recommended exponent length is shorter, which makes \s-1DH\s0 key
|
|
exchange more efficient. Beware that with such DSA-style \s-1DH\s0
|
|
parameters, a fresh \s-1DH\s0 key should be created for each use to
|
|
avoid small-subgroup attacks that may be possible otherwise.
|
|
.Ip "\fB\-2\fR, \fB\-5\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-2, -5"
|
|
The generator to use, either 2 or 5. 2 is the default. If present then the
|
|
input file is ignored and parameters are generated instead.
|
|
.Ip "\fB\-rand\fR \fI\fIfile\fI\|(s)\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-rand file"
|
|
a file or files containing random data used to seed the random number
|
|
generator, or an \s-1EGD\s0 socket (see RAND_egd(3)).
|
|
Multiple files can be specified separated by a OS-dependent character.
|
|
The separator is \fB;\fR for MS-Windows, \fB,\fR for OpenVMS, and \fB:\fR for
|
|
all others.
|
|
.Ip "\fInumbits\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "numbits"
|
|
this option specifies that a parameter set should be generated of size
|
|
\&\fInumbits\fR. It must be the last option. If not present then a value of 512
|
|
is used. If this option is present then the input file is ignored and
|
|
parameters are generated instead.
|
|
.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-1DH\s0 parameters in human readable form.
|
|
.Ip "\fB\-C\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-C"
|
|
this option converts the parameters into C code. The parameters can then
|
|
be loaded by calling the \fBget_dh\fR\fInumbits\fR\fB()\fR function.
|
|
.SH "WARNINGS"
|
|
.IX Header "WARNINGS"
|
|
The program \fBdhparam\fR combines the functionality of the programs \fBdh\fR and
|
|
\&\fBgendh\fR in previous versions of OpenSSL and SSLeay. The \fBdh\fR and \fBgendh\fR
|
|
programs are retained for now but may have different purposes in future
|
|
versions of OpenSSL.
|
|
.SH "NOTES"
