NAME
openssl-dsa - DSA key processing
SYNOPSIS
openssl dsa [-help] [-inform DER|PEM] [-outform DER|PEM] [-in filename] [-passin arg]
[-out filename] [-passout arg] [-aes128] [-aes192] [-aes256] [-aria128] [-aria192]
[-aria256] [-camellia128] [-camellia192] [-camellia256] [-des] [-des3] [-idea] [-text]
[-noout] [-modulus] [-pubin] [-pubout] [-pvk-strong] [-pvk-weak] [-pvk-none] [-engine id]
[-provider name] [-provider-path path] [-propquery propq]
DESCRIPTION
This command processes DSA keys. They can be converted between various forms and their
components printed out. 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 pkcs8
OPTIONS
-help
Print out a usage message.
-inform DER|PEM
The key input format; unspecified by default. See openssl-format-options(1) for
details.
-outform DER|PEM
The key output format; the default is PEM. See openssl-format-options(1) for details.
Private keys are a sequence of ASN.1 INTEGERS: the version (zero), p, q, g, and the
public and private key components. Public keys are a SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure
with the DSA type.
The PEM format also accepts PKCS#8 data.
-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.
-out filename
This specifies the output filename to write a key to or standard output by is not
specified. If any encryption options are set then a pass phrase will be prompted for.
The output filename should not be the same as the input filename.
-passin arg, -passout arg
The password source for the input and output file. For more information about the
format of arg see openssl-passphrase-options(1).
-aes128, -aes192, -aes256, -aria128, -aria192, -aria256, -camellia128, -camellia192,
-camellia256, -des, -des3, -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 this command can be used to remove the pass
phrase from a key by not giving any encryption option is given, or to add or change
the pass phrase by setting them. These options can only be used with PEM format
output files.
-text
Prints out the public, private key components and parameters.
-noout
This option prevents output of the encoded version of the key.
-modulus
This option prints out the value of the public key component of the key.
-pubin
By default, a private key is read from the input file. With this option a public key
is read instead.
-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.
-pvk-strong
Enable 'Strong' PVK encoding level (default).
-pvk-weak
Enable 'Weak' PVK encoding level.
-pvk-none
Don't enforce PVK encoding.
-engine id
See "Engine Options" in openssl(1). This option is deprecated.
-provider name
-provider-path path
-propquery propq
See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).
The openssl-pkey(1) command is capable of performing all the operations this command can,
as well as supporting other public key types.
EXAMPLES
The documentation for the openssl-pkey(1) command contains examples equivalent to the ones
listed here.
To remove the pass phrase on a DSA private key:
openssl dsa -in key.pem -out keyout.pem
To encrypt a private key using triple DES:
openssl dsa -in key.pem -des3 -out keyout.pem
To convert a private key from PEM to DER format:
openssl dsa -in key.pem -outform DER -out keyout.der
To print out the components of a private key to standard output:
openssl dsa -in key.pem -text -noout
To just output the public part of a private key:
openssl dsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem

HISTORY
The -engine option was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
