=head1 DESCRIPTION

This command processes RSA keys. They can be converted between
various forms and their components printed out.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<-help>

Print out a usage message.


=item B<-inform> B<DER>|B<PEM>|B<P12>|B<ENGINE>

The key input format; the default is B<PEM>.
The only value with effect is B<ENGINE>; all others have become obsolete.
See L<openssl(1)/Format Options> for details.

=item B<-outform> B<DER>|B<PEM>

The key output format; the default is B<PEM>.
See L<openssl(1)/Format Options> for details.

=item B<-traditional>

When writing a private key, use the traditional PKCS#1 format
instead of the PKCS#8 format.

=item B<-in> I<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.

=item B<-passin> I<arg>, B<-passout> I<arg>

The password source for the input and output file.
For more information about the format of B<arg>
see L<openssl(1)/Pass Phrase Options>.

=item B<-out> I<filename>

This specifies the output filename to write a key to or standard output if this
option is not specified. If any encryption options are set then a pass phrase
will be prompted for. The output filename should B<not> be the same as the input
filename.

=item B<-aes128>, B<-aes192>, B<-aes256>, B<-aria128>, B<-aria192>, B<-aria256>, B<-camellia128>, B<-camellia192>, B<-camellia256>, B<-des>, B<-des3>, B<-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.

=item B<-text>

Prints out the various public or private key components in
plain text in addition to the encoded version.

=item B<-noout>

This option prevents output of the encoded version of the key.

=item B<-modulus>

This option prints out the value of the modulus of the key.

=item B<-check>

This option checks the consistency of an RSA private key.

=item B<-pubin>

By default a private key is read from the input file: with this
option a public key is read instead.

=item B<-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.

=item B<-RSAPublicKey_in>, B<-RSAPublicKey_out>

Like B<-pubin> and B<-pubout> except B<RSAPublicKey> format is used instead.

=head1 EXAMPLES

Examples equivalent to these can be found in the documentation for the
non-deprecated L<openssl-pkey(1)> command.

To remove the pass phrase on an RSA private key:

 openssl rsa -in key.pem -out keyout.pem

To encrypt a private key using triple DES:

 openssl rsa -in key.pem -des3 -out keyout.pem

To convert a private key from PEM to DER format:

 openssl rsa -in key.pem -outform DER -out keyout.der

To print out the components of a private key to standard output:

 openssl rsa -in key.pem -text -noout

To just output the public part of a private key:

 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem

Output the public part of a private key in B<RSAPublicKey> format:

 openssl rsa -in key.pem -RSAPublicKey_out -out pubkey.pem

=head1 BUGS

There should be an option that automatically handles F<.key> files,
without having to manually edit them.
