<p>openssl - OpenSSL command line tool</p>
<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<p><b>openssl</b> <b>list</b> [ <b>standard-commands</b> | <b>digest-commands</b> | <b>cipher-commands</b> | <b>cipher-algorithms</b> | <b>digest-algorithms</b> | <b>public-key-algorithms</b>]</p>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The <b>openssl</b> program is a command line tool for using the various cryptography functions of OpenSSL's <b>crypto</b> library from the shell. It can be used for</p>
<pre><code> 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</code></pre>
<h1 id="COMMAND-SUMMARY">COMMAND SUMMARY</h1>
<p>The <b>openssl</b> program provides a rich variety of commands (<i>command</i> in the SYNOPSIS above), each of which often has a wealth of options and arguments (<i>command_opts</i> and <i>command_args</i> in the SYNOPSIS).</p>
<p>Detailed documentation and use cases for most standard subcommands are available (e.g., <a href="../man1/x509.html">x509(1)</a> or <a href="../man1/openssl-x509.html">openssl-x509(1)</a>).</p>
<p>Many commands use an external configuration file for some or all of their arguments and have a <b>-config</b> option to specify that file. The environment variable <b>OPENSSL_CONF</b> 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</b> in the default certificate storage area, whose value depends on the configuration flags specified when the OpenSSL was built.</p>
<p>The list parameters <b>standard-commands</b>, <b>digest-commands</b>, and <b>cipher-commands</b> 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</b> utility.</p>
<p>The list parameters <b>cipher-algorithms</b> and <b>digest-algorithms</b> list all cipher and message digest names, one entry per line. Aliases are listed as:</p>
<pre><code> from => to</code></pre>
<p>The list parameter <b>public-key-algorithms</b> lists all supported public key algorithms.</p>
<p>The command <b>no-</b><i>XXX</i> tests whether a command of the specified name is available. If no command named <i>XXX</i> exists, it returns 0 (success) and prints <b>no-</b><i>XXX</i>; otherwise it returns 1 and prints <i>XXX</i>. In both cases, the output goes to <b>stdout</b> and nothing is printed to <b>stderr</b>. 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</b> program. (<b>no-</b><i>XXX</i> is not able to detect pseudo-commands such as <b>quit</b>, <b>list</b>, or <b>no-</b><i>XXX</i> itself.)</p>

<p>Several commands accept password arguments, typically using <b>-passin</b> and <b>-passout</b> 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.</p>
