=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This command is used to manipulate DH parameter files.
|
|
|
|
See L<openssl-genpkey(1)/EXAMPLES> for examples on how to generate
|
|
a key using a named safe prime group without generating intermediate
|
|
parameters.
|
|
|
|
=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item B<-help>
|
|
|
|
Print out a usage message.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-inform> B<DER>|B<PEM>, B<-outform> B<DER>|B<PEM>
|
|
|
|
The input format and output format; the default is B<PEM>.
|
|
The object is compatible with the PKCS#3 B<DHparameter> structure.
|
|
See L<openssl-format-options(1)> for details.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-in> I<filename>
|
|
|
|
This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if
|
|
this option is not specified.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-out> I<filename>
|
|
|
|
This specifies the output filename parameters to. Standard output is used
|
|
if this option is not present. The output filename should B<not> be the same
|
|
as the input filename.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-dsaparam>
|
|
|
|
If this option is used, DSA rather than DH parameters are read or created;
|
|
they are converted to DH format. Otherwise, safe primes (such
|
|
that (p-1)/2 is also prime) will be used for DH parameter generation.
|
|
|
|
DH parameter generation with the B<-dsaparam> option is much faster.
|
|
Beware that with such DSA-style DH parameters, a fresh DH key should be
|
|
created for each use to avoid small-subgroup attacks that may be possible
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-check>
|
|
|
|
Performs numerous checks to see if the supplied parameters are valid and
|
|
displays a warning if not.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-2>, B<-3>, B<-5>
|
|
|
|
The generator to use, either 2, 3 or 5. If present then the
|
|
input file is ignored and parameters are generated instead. If not
|
|
present but I<numbits> is present, parameters are generated with the
|
|
default generator 2.
|
|
|
|
=item I<numbits>
|
|
|
|
This option specifies that a parameter set should be generated of size
|
|
I<numbits>. It must be the last option. If this option is present then
|
|
the input file is ignored and parameters are generated instead. If
|
|
this option is not present but a generator (B<-2>, B<-3> or B<-5>) is
|
|
present, parameters are generated with a default length of 2048 bits.
|
|
The minimum length is 512 bits. The maximum length is 10000 bits.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-noout>
|
|
|
|
This option inhibits the output of the encoded version of the parameters.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-text>
|
|
|
|
This option prints out the DH parameters in human readable form.

|
|

|
{- $OpenSSL::safe::opt_provider_item -}
|
|
|
|
=item B<-verbose>
|
|
|
|
This option enables the output of progress messages, which is handy when
|
|
running commands interactively that may take a long time to execute.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-quiet>
|
|
|
|
This option suppresses the output of progress messages, which may be
|
|
undesirable in batch scripts or pipelines.
