They can be converted between various -forms and their components printed out. B<Note> this command uses the -traditional SSLeay compatible format for private key encryption: newer -applications should use the more secure PKCS#8 format using the B<pkcs8> -utility. - -=head1 OPTIONS - -=over 4 - -=item B<-help> - -Print out a usage message. - -=item B<-inform DER|PEM> - -This specifies the input format. The B<DER> option uses an ASN1 DER encoded -form compatible with the PKCS#1 RSAPrivateKey or SubjectPublicKeyInfo format. -The B<PEM> form is the default format: it consists of the B<DER> format base64 -encoded with additional header and footer lines. On input PKCS#8 format private -keys are also accepted. - -=item B<-outform DER|PEM> - -This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning and default -as the B<-inform> option. - -=item B<-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. - -=item B<-passin arg> - -The input file password source. For more information about the format of B<arg> -see L<openssl(1)/Pass Phrase Options>. - -=item B<-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 B<not> be the same as the input -filename. - -=item B<-passout password> - -The output file password source. For more information about the format of B<arg> -see L<openssl(1)/Pass Phrase Options>. - -=item B<-aes128>, B<-aes192>, B<-aes256>, B<-aria128>, B<-aria192>, B<-aria256>, B<-camellia128>, B<-camellia192>, B<-camellia256>, B<-des>, B<-des3>, B<-idea> - -These options encrypt the private key with the specified -cipher 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 B<rsa> 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 PEM format output files. - -=item B<-text> - -Prints out the various public or private key components in -plain text in addition to the encoded version. - -=item B<-noout> - -This option prevents output of the encoded version of the key. - -=item B<-modulus> - -This option prints out the value of the modulus of the key. - -=item B<-check> - -This option checks the consistency of an RSA private key. - -=item B<-pubin> - -By default a private key is read from the input file: with this -option a public key is read instead. - -=item B<-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. - -=item B<-RSAPublicKey_in>, B<-RSAPublicKey_out> - -Like B<-pubin> and B<-pubout> except B<RSAPublicKey> format is used instead. - -=item B<-engine id> - -Specifying an engine (by its unique B<id> string) will cause B<rsa> -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. - -=back - -=head1 NOTES - -The PEM private key format uses the header and footer lines: - - -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- - -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- - -The PEM public key format uses the header and footer lines: - - -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- - -----END PUBLIC KEY----- - -The PEM B<RSAPublicKey> format uses the header and footer lines: - - -----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY----- - -----END RSA PUBLIC KEY----- - -=head1 EXAMPLES - -To remove the pass phrase on an RSA private key: - - openssl rsa -in key.pem -out keyout.pem - -To encrypt a private key using triple DES: - - openssl rsa -in key.pem -des3 -out keyout.pem - -To convert a private key from PEM to DER format: - - openssl rsa -in key.pem -outform DER -out keyout.der - -To print out the components of a private key to standard output: - - openssl rsa -in key.pem -text -noout - -To just output the public part of a private key: - - openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem - -Output the public part of a private key in B<RSAPublicKey> format: - - openssl rsa -in key.pem -RSAPublicKey_out -out pubkey.pem - -=head1 BUGS - -There should be an option that automatically handles .key files, -without having to manually edit them. - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -L<pkcs8(1)>, L<dsa(1)>, L<genrsa(1)>, -L<gendsa(1)> - -=head1 COPYRIGHT - -Copyright 2000-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
