|
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
The \fBrsa\fR command processes \s-1RSA\s0 keys. They can be converted between various
|
|
forms and their components printed out. \fBNote\fR this command uses the
|
|
traditional SSLeay compatible format for private key encryption: newer
|
|
applications should use the more secure PKCS#8 format using the \fBpkcs8\fR
|
|
utility.
|
|
.SH "COMMAND OPTIONS"
|
|
.IX Header "COMMAND OPTIONS"
|
|
.Ip "\fB\-inform DER|NET|PEM\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-inform DER|NET|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#1 RSAPrivateKey or SubjectPublicKeyInfo format.
|
|
The \fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR form is the default format: it consists of the \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR format base64
|
|
encoded with additional header and footer lines. On input PKCS#8 format private
|
|
keys are also accepted. The \fB\s-1NET\s0\fR form is a format is described in the \fB\s-1NOTES\s0\fR
|
|
section.
|
|
.Ip "\fB\-outform DER|NET|PEM\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-outform DER|NET|PEM"
|
|
This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning as the
|
|
\&\fB\-inform\fR option.
|
|
.Ip "\fB\-in filename\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 arg\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-passin arg"
|
|
the input file password source. For more information about the format of \fBarg\fR
|
|
see the \fB\s-1PASS\s0 \s-1PHRASE\s0 \s-1ARGUMENTS\s0\fR section in openssl(1).
|
|
.Ip "\fB\-out filename\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\-passout password\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-passout password"
|
|
the output file password source. For more information about the format of \fBarg\fR
|
|
see the \fB\s-1PASS\s0 \s-1PHRASE\s0 \s-1ARGUMENTS\s0\fR section in openssl(1).
|
|
.Ip "\fB\-sgckey\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-sgckey"
|
|
use the modified \s-1NET\s0 algorithm used with some versions of Microsoft \s-1IIS\s0 and \s-1SGC\s0
|
|
keys.
|
|
.Ip "\fB\-des|\-des3|\-idea\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-des|-des3|-idea"
|
|
These options encrypt the private key with the \s-1DES\s0, triple \s-1DES\s0, or the
|
|
\&\s-1IDEA\s0 ciphers respectively before outputting it. A pass phrase is prompted for.
|
|
If none of these options is specified the key is written in plain text. This
|
|
means that using the \fBrsa\fR utility to read in an encrypted key with no
|
|
encryption option can be used to remove the pass phrase from a key, or by
|
|
setting the encryption options it can be use to add or change the pass phrase.
|
|
These options can only be used with \s-1PEM\s0 format output files.
|
|
.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\-noout\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-noout"
|
|
this option prevents output of the encoded version of the key.
|
|
.Ip "\fB\-modulus\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-modulus"
|
|
this option prints out the value of the modulus of the key.
|
|
.Ip "\fB\-check\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-check"
|
|
this option checks the consistency of an \s-1RSA\s0 private 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\-engine id\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-engine id"
|
|
specifying an engine (by it's unique \fBid\fR string) will cause \fBreq\fR
|
|
to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
|
|
thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
|
|
for all available algorithms.
|
|
.SH "NOTES"
|
|
.IX Header "NOTES"
|
|
The \s-1PEM\s0 private key format uses the header and footer lines:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.Vb 2
|
|
\& -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
|
|
\& -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
|
|
.Ve
|
|
The \s-1PEM\s0 public key format uses the header and footer lines:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.Vb 2
|
|
\& -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
|
|
\& -----END PUBLIC KEY-----
|
|
.Ve
|
|
The \fB\s-1NET\s0\fR form is a format compatible with older Netscape servers
|
|
and Microsoft \s-1IIS\s0 .key files, this uses unsalted \s-1RC4\s0 for its encryption.
|
|
It is not very secure and so should only be used when necessary.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Some newer version of \s-1IIS\s0 have additional data in the exported .key
|
|
files. To use these with the utility, view the file with a binary editor
|
|
and look for the string \*(L"private-key\*(R", then trace back to the byte
|
|
sequence 0x30, 0x82 (this is an \s-1ASN1\s0 \s-1SEQUENCE\s0). Copy all the data
|
|
from this point onwards to another file and use that as the input
|
|
to the \fBrsa\fR utility with the \fB\-inform \s-1NET\s0\fR option. If you get
|
|
an error after entering the password try the \fB\-sgckey\fR option.
