DESCRIPTIONThis command can be used to perform low-level public key operations using any supported algorithm.

OPTIONS−help Print out a usage message. −in filename This specifies the input filename to read data from or standard input if this option is not specified. −rawin This indicates that the input data is raw data, which is not hashed by any message digest algorithm. The user can specify a digest algorithm by using the −digest option. This option can only be used with −sign and ​−verify and must be used with the Ed25519 and Ed448 algorithms. −digest algorithm This specifies the digest algorithm which is used to hash the input data before signing or verifying it with the input key. This option could be omitted if the signature algorithm does not require one (for instance, EdDSA). If this option is omitted but the signature algorithm requires one, a default value will be used. For signature algorithms like RSA, DSA and ECDSA, SHA−256 will be the default digest algorithm. For SM2, it will be SM3. If this option is present, then the −rawin option must be also specified. −out filename Specifies the output filename to write to or standard output by default. −sigfile file Signature file, required for −verify operations only −inkey filename|uri The input key, by default it should be a private key. −keyform DER|PEM|P12|ENGINE The key format; unspecified by default. See openssl−format−options(1) for details. −passin arg The input key password source. For more information about the format of arg see openssl−passphrase−options(1). −peerkey file The peer key file, used by key derivation (agreement) operations. −peerform DER|PEM|P12|ENGINE The peer key format; unspecified by default. See openssl−format−options(1) for details. −pubin The input file is a public key. −certin The input is a certificate containing a public key. −rev Reverse the order of the input buffer. This is useful for some libraries (such as CryptoAPI) which represent the buffer in little endian format. −sign Sign the input data (which must be a hash) and output the signed result. This requires a private key. −verify Verify the input data (which must be a hash) against the signature file and indicate if the verification succeeded or failed. −verifyrecover Verify the input data (which must be a hash) and output the recovered data. −encrypt Encrypt the input data using a public key. −decrypt Decrypt the input data using a private key. −derive Derive a shared secret using the peer key. −kdf algorithm Use key derivation function algorithm. The supported algorithms are at present TLS1−PRF and HKDF. Note: additional parameters and the KDF output length will normally have to be set for this to work. See EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_hkdf_md(3) and EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_tls1_prf_md(3) for the supported string parameters of each algorithm. −kdflen length Set the output length for KDF. −pkeyopt opt:value Public key options specified as opt:value. See NOTES below for more details. −pkeyopt_passin opt[:passarg] Allows reading a public key option opt from stdin or a password source. If only opt is specified, the user will be prompted to enter a password on stdin. Alternatively, passarg can be specified which can be any value supported by openssl−passphrase−options(1). −hexdump hex dump the output data. −asn1parse Parse the ASN.1 output data, this is useful when combined with the ​−verifyrecover option when an ASN1 structure is signed. −engine id See "Engine Options" in openssl(1). This option is deprecated. −engine_impl When used with the −engine option, it specifies to also use engine id for crypto operations. −rand files, −writerand file See "Random State Options" in openssl(1) for details. −provider name −provider−path path −propquery propq See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7). −config configfile See "Configuration Option" in openssl(1).

NOTESThe operations and options supported vary according to the key algorithm and its implementation. The OpenSSL operations and options are indicated below. Unless otherwise mentioned all algorithms support the digest:alg option which specifies the digest in use for sign, verify and verifyrecover operations. The value alg should represent a digest name as used in the ​EVP_get_digestbyname() function for example sha1. This value is not used to hash the input data. It is used (by some algorithms) for sanity-checking the lengths of data passed in and for creating the structures that make up the signature (e.g. DigestInfo in RSASSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures). This command does not hash the input data (except where −rawin is used) but rather it will use the data directly as input to the signature algorithm. Depending on the key type, signature type, and mode of padding, the maximum acceptable lengths of input data differ. The signed data can't be longer than the key modulus with RSA. In case of ECDSA and DSA the data shouldn't be longer than the field size, otherwise it will be silently truncated to the field size. In any event the input size must not be larger than the largest supported digest size. In other words, if the value of digest is sha1 the input should be the 20 bytes long binary encoding of the SHA−1 hash function output.

RSA ALGORITHMThe RSA algorithm generally supports the encrypt, decrypt, sign, verify and verifyrecover operations. However, some padding modes support only a subset of these operations. The following additional ​pkeyopt values are supported: rsa_padding_mode:mode This sets the RSA padding mode. Acceptable values for mode are pkcs1 for PKCS#1 padding, none for no padding, oaep for OAEP mode, x931 for X9.31 mode and pss for PSS. In PKCS#1 padding if the message digest is not set then the supplied data is signed or verified directly instead of using a DigestInfo structure. If a digest is set then the a DigestInfo structure is used and its the length must correspond to the digest type. Note, for pkcs1 padding, as a protection against Bleichenbacher attack, the decryption will not fail in case of padding check failures. Use none and manual inspection of the decrypted message to verify if the decrypted value has correct PKCS#1 v1.5 padding. For oaep mode only encryption and decryption is supported. For x931 if the digest type is set it is used to format the block data otherwise the first byte is used to specify the X9.31 digest ID. Sign, verify and verifyrecover are can be performed in this mode. For pss mode only sign and verify are supported and the digest type must be specified. rsa_pss_saltlen:len For pss mode only this option specifies the salt length. Three special values are supported: digest sets the salt length to the digest length, ​max sets the salt length to the maximum permissible value. When verifying ​auto causes the salt length to be automatically determined based on the ​PSS block structure. rsa_mgf1_md:digest For PSS and OAEP padding sets the MGF1 digest. If the MGF1 digest is not explicitly set in PSS mode then the signing digest is used. rsa_oaep_md:digest Sets the digest used for the OAEP hash function. If not explicitly set then SHA1 is used. rsa_pkcs1_implicit_rejection:flag Disables (when set to 0) or enables (when set to 1) the use of implicit rejection with PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption. When enabled (the default), as a protection against Bleichenbacher attack, the library will generate a deterministic random plaintext that it will return to the caller in case of padding check failure. When disabled, it's the callers' responsibility to handle the returned errors in a side-channel free manner.

RSA-PSS ALGORITHMThe RSA-PSS algorithm is a restricted version of the RSA algorithm which only supports the sign and verify operations with PSS padding. The following additional −pkeyopt values are supported: rsa_padding_mode:mode, rsa_pss_saltlen:len, rsa_mgf1_md:digest These have the same meaning as the RSA algorithm with some additional restrictions. The padding mode can only be set to pss which is the default value. If the key has parameter restrictions than the digest, MGF1 digest and salt length are set to the values specified in the parameters. The digest and MG cannot be changed and the salt length cannot be set to a value less than the minimum restriction.

DSA ALGORITHMThe DSA algorithm supports signing and verification operations only. Currently there are no additional −pkeyopt options other than digest. The SHA1 digest is assumed by default.

DH ALGORITHMThe DH algorithm only supports the derivation operation and no additional ​−pkeyopt options.

EC ALGORITHMThe EC algorithm supports sign, verify and derive operations. The sign and verify operations use ECDSA and derive uses ECDH. SHA1 is assumed by default for the −pkeyopt digest option.

X25519 AND X448 ALGORITHMSThe X25519 and X448 algorithms support key derivation only. Currently there are no additional options.

ED25519 AND ED448 ALGORITHMSThese algorithms only support signing and verifying. OpenSSL only implements the "pure" variants of these algorithms so raw data can be passed directly to them without hashing them first. The option −rawin must be used with these algorithms with no −digest specified. Additionally OpenSSL only supports "oneshot" operation with these algorithms. This means that the entire file to be signed/verified must be read into memory before processing it. Signing or Verifying very large files should be avoided. Additionally the size of the file must be known for this to work. If the size of the file cannot be determined (for example if the input is stdin) then the sign or verify operation will fail.

SM2The SM2 algorithm supports sign, verify, encrypt and decrypt operations. For the sign and verify operations, SM2 requires an Distinguishing ID string to be passed in. The following −pkeyopt value is supported: distid:string This sets the ID string used in SM2 sign or verify operations. While verifying an SM2 signature, the ID string must be the same one used when signing the data. Otherwise the verification will fail. hexdistid:hex_string This sets the ID string used in SM2 sign or verify operations. While verifying an SM2 signature, the ID string must be the same one used when signing the data. Otherwise the verification will fail. The ID string provided with this option should be a valid hexadecimal value.
