[_OPENSSL_(1SSL)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/OPENSSL/1SSL/markdown)                                  OpenSSL                                 [_OPENSSL_(1SSL)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/OPENSSL/1SSL/markdown)

## NAME
       openssl - OpenSSL command line program

## SYNOPSIS
       **openssl _**command_ [ _options_ ... ] [ _parameters_ ... ]

       **openssl no-_**XXX_ [ _options_ ]

## DESCRIPTION
       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.

       The **openssl **program is a command line program for using the various cryptography functions of
       OpenSSL's **crypto **library from the shell.  It can be used for

        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 and Message Authentication Codes
        o  Encryption and Decryption with Ciphers
        o  SSL/TLS Client and Server Tests
        o  Handling of S/MIME signed or encrypted mail
        o  Timestamp requests, generation and verification

## COMMAND SUMMARY
       The **openssl **program provides a rich variety of commands (_command_ in the "SYNOPSIS" above).
       Each command can have many options and argument parameters, shown above as _options_ and
       _parameters_.

       Detailed documentation and use cases for most standard subcommands are available (e.g.,
       [**openssl-x509**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/openssl-x509/1/markdown)). The subcommand [**openssl-list**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/openssl-list/1/markdown) may be used to list subcommands.

       The command **no-_**XXX_ tests whether a command of the specified name is available.  If no command
       named _XXX_ exists, it returns 0 (success) and prints **no-_**XXX_; otherwise it returns 1 and prints
       _XXX_.  In both cases, the output goes to **stdout **and nothing is printed to **stderr**.  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 **openssl **program.  (**no-_**XXX_ is not able to detect pseudo-commands such as **quit**,
       **list**, or **no-_**XXX_ itself.)

### Configuration Option
       Many commands use an external configuration file for some or all of their arguments and have
       a **-config **option to specify that file.  The default name of the file is _openssl.cnf_ in the
       default certificate storage area, which can be determined from the [**openssl-version**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/openssl-version/1/markdown) command
       using the **-d **or **-a **option.  The environment variable **OPENSSL_CONF **can be used to specify a
       different file location or to disable loading a configuration (using the empty string).

       Among others, the configuration file can be used to load modules and to specify parameters
       for generating certificates and random numbers.  See [**config**(5)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/config/5/markdown) for details.

## OPTIONS
       Details of which options  are  available  depend  on  the  specific  command.   This  section
       describes some common options with common behavior.

### Common Options
### -help
           Provides  a  terse summary of all options.  If an option takes an argument, the "type" of
           argument is also given.

       **--  **This terminates the list of options. It is mostly useful if any filename parameters start
           with a minus sign:

            openssl verify [flags...] -- -cert1.pem...

### Format Options
       See [**openssl-format-options**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/openssl-format-options/1/markdown) for manual page.

### Pass Phrase Options
       See the [**openssl-passphrase-options**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/openssl-passphrase-options/1/markdown) manual page.

### Random State Options
       Prior to OpenSSL 1.1.1, it was common for applications to store information about  the  state
       of  the random-number generator in a file that was loaded at startup and rewritten upon exit.
       On modern operating systems, this is generally no  longer  necessary  as  OpenSSL  will  seed
       itself  from a trusted entropy source provided by the operating system. These flags are still
       supported for special platforms or circumstances that might require them.

       It is generally an error to use the same seed file more than once  and  every  use  of  **-rand**
       should be paired with **-writerand**.

### -rand _
           A  file  or  files  containing  random  data  used  to  seed the random number generator.
           Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-dependent character.  The separator is
           ";" for MS-Windows, "," for OpenVMS, and ":" for  all  others.  Another  way  to  specify
           multiple files is to repeat this flag with different filenames.

### -writerand _
           Writes  the  seed  data  to  the  specified  _file_  upon exit.  This file can be used in a
           subsequent command invocation.

### Certificate Verification Options
       See the [**openssl-verification-options**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/openssl-verification-options/1/markdown) manual page.

### Name Format Options
       See the [**openssl-namedisplay-options**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/openssl-namedisplay-options/1/markdown) manual page.

### TLS Version Options
       Several commands use SSL, TLS, or DTLS. By default, the commands use  TLS  and  clients  will
       offer the lowest and highest protocol version they support, and servers will pick the highest
       version that the client offers that is also supported by the server.

       The options below can be used to limit which protocol versions are used, and whether TCP (SSL
       and  TLS)  or  UDP  (DTLS)  is used.  Note that not all protocols and flags may be available,
       depending on how OpenSSL was built.

### -ssl3 -tls1 -tls1_1 -tls1_2 -tls1_3 -no_ssl3 -no_tls1 -no_tls1_1 -no_tls1_2
### -no_tls1_3
           These options require or disable the use of the specified SSL or TLS protocols.   When  a
           specific  TLS  version  is required, only that version will be offered or accepted.  Only
           one specific protocol can be given and it cannot be combined with any of the **no_ **options.
           The **no_* **options do not work with **s_time **and **ciphers **commands but work with **s_client  **and
           **s_server **commands.

### -dtls -dtls1 -dtls1_2
           These options specify to use DTLS instead of TLS.  With **-dtls**, clients will negotiate any
           supported  DTLS  protocol  version.   Use  the **-dtls1 **or **-dtls1_2 **options to support only
           DTLS1.0 or DTLS1.2, respectively.

### Engine Options
### -engine _
           Load the engine identified by _id_ and use all the methods it implements  (algorithms,  key
           storage, etc.), unless specified otherwise in the command-specific documentation or it is
           configured to do so, as described in "Engine Configuration" in [**config**(5)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/config/5/markdown).

           The  engine  will  be  used  for  key ids specified with **-key **and similar options when an
           option like **-keyform engine **is given.

           A special case is the "loader_attic" engine, which is meant  just  for  internal  OpenSSL
           testing  purposes  and  supports  loading  keys,  parameters, certificates, and CRLs from
           files.  When this engine is used, files with such credentials are read via  this  engine.
           Using the "file:" schema is optional; a plain file (path) name will do.

       Options  specifying  keys,  like  **-key  **and  similar,  can use the generic OpenSSL engine key
       loading URI scheme "org.openssl.engine:" to retrieve private keys and public keys.   The  URI
       syntax is as follows, in simplified form:

           org.openssl.engine:{engineid}:{keyid}

       Where  "{engineid}"  is  the  identity/name  of the engine, and "{keyid}" is a key identifier
       that's acceptable by that engine.  For example, when using an engine that interfaces  against
       a  PKCS#11  implementation, the generic key URI would be something like this (this happens to
       be an example for the PKCS#11 engine that's part of OpenSC):

           -key org.openssl.engine:pkcs11:label_some-private-key

       As  a  third  possibility,  for  engines  and  providers  that  have  implemented  their  own
       [**OSSL_STORE_LOADER**(3)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/OSSLSTORELOADER/3/markdown),   "org.openssl.engine:"   should  not  be  necessary.   For  a  PKCS#11
       implementation that has implemented such a loader, the PKCS#11 URI as  defined  in  RFC  7512
       should be possible to use directly:

           -key pkcs11:object=some-private-key;pin-value=1234

### Provider Options
### -provider _
           Load  and  initialize the provider identified by _name_. The _name_ can be also a path to the
           provider module. In that case the provider name will be the specified path and  not  just
           the  provider  module  name.   Interpretation of relative paths is platform specific. The
           configured "MODULESDIR" path, **OPENSSL_MODULES **environment variable, or the path specified
           by **-provider-path **is prepended to relative paths.  See [**provider**(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/provider/7/markdown) for  a  more  detailed
           description.

### -provider-path _
           Specifies  the  search  path that is to be used for looking for providers.  Equivalently,
           the **OPENSSL_MODULES **environment variable may be set.

### -propquery _
           Specifies the _property_ _query_ _clause_ to be used when fetching algorithms from  the  loaded
           providers.  See [**property**(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/property/7/markdown) for a more detailed description.

## ENVIRONMENT

           Enable  tracing  output of OpenSSL library, by name.  This output will only make sense if
           you know OpenSSL internals well.  Also,  it  might  not  give  you  any  output  at  all,
           depending on how OpenSSL was built.

           The value is a comma separated list of names, with the following available:

           **TRACE**
               Traces the OpenSSL trace API itself.

           **INIT**
               Traces OpenSSL library initialization and cleanup.

           **TLS **Traces the TLS/SSL protocol.

           **CONF**
               Show details about provider and engine configuration.

           **ENGINE_TABLE**
               The  function that is used by RSA, DSA (etc) code to select registered ENGINEs, cache
               defaults and functional references (etc), will generate debugging summaries.

           **ENGINE_REF_COUNT**
               Reference counts in the ENGINE structure will be monitored with a line  of  generated
               for each change.

           **PKCS5V2**
               Traces PKCS#5 v2 key generation.

           **PKCS12_KEYGEN**
               Traces PKCS#12 key generation.

           **PKCS12_DECRYPT**
               Traces PKCS#12 decryption.

           **X509V3_POLICY**

## HISTORY
       The  **list  **-_XXX_**-algorithms **options were added in OpenSSL 1.0.0; For notes on the availability
       of other commands, see their individual manual pages.

       The **-issuer_checks **option is deprecated as of OpenSSL 1.1.0 and is silently ignored.

       The **-xcertform **and **-xkeyform **options are obsolete since OpenSSL 3.0 and have no effect.

       The interactive mode, which could be invoked by running "openssl" with no further  arguments,
       was  removed  in OpenSSL 3.0, and running that program with no arguments is now equivalent to
       "openssl help".
