=head1 NAME
openssl-fipsinstall - perform FIPS configuration installation
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<openssl fipsinstall>
[B<-help>]
[B<-in> I<configfilename>]
[B<-out> I<configfilename>]
[B<-module> I<modulefilename>]
[B<-provider_name> I<providername>]
[B<-section_name> I<sectionname>]
[B<-verify>]
[B<-mac_name> I<macname>]
[B<-macopt> I<nm>:I<v>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This command is used to generate a FIPS module configuration file.
The generated configuration file consists of:
=over 4
=item - A mac of the FIPS module file.
=item - A status indicator that indicates if the known answer Self Tests (KAT's)
have successfully run.
=back
This configuration file can be used each time a FIPS module is loaded
in order to pass data to the FIPS modules self tests. The FIPS module always
verifies the modules MAC, but only needs to run the KATS once during install.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-help>
Print a usage message.
=item B<-module> I<filename>
Filename of a fips module to perform an integrity check on.
=item B<-out> I<configfilename>
Filename to output the configuration data to, or standard output by default.
=item B<-in> I<configfilename>
Input filename to load configuration data from. Used with the '-verify' option.
Standard input is used if the filename is '-'.
=item B<-verify>
Verify that the input configuration file contains the correct information
=item B<-provider_name> I<providername>
Name of the provider inside the configuration file.
=item B<-section_name> I<sectionname>
Name of the section inside the configuration file.
=item B<-mac_name> I<name>
Specifies the name of a supported MAC algorithm which will be used.
To see the list of supported MAC's use the command
C<openssl list -mac-algorithms>. The default is B<HMAC>.
=item B<-macopt> I<nm>:I<v>
Passes options to the MAC algorithm.
A comprehensive list of controls can be found in the EVP_MAC implementation
documentation.
Common control strings used for fipsinstall are:
=over 4
=item B<key>:I<string>
Specifies the MAC key as an alphanumeric string (use if the key contains
printable characters only).
The string length must conform to any restrictions of the MAC algorithm.
A key must be specified for every MAC algorithm.
=item B<hexkey>:I<string>
Specifies the MAC key in hexadecimal form (two hex digits per byte).
The key length must conform to any restrictions of the MAC algorithm.
A key must be specified for every MAC algorithm.
=item B<digest>:I<string>
Used by HMAC as an alphanumeric string (use if the key contains printable
characters only).
The string length must conform to any restrictions of the MAC algorithm.
To see the list of supported digests, use the command
C<openssl list -digest-commands>.
=back
=back
=head1 EXAMPLES
Calculate the mac of a FIPS module F<fips.so> and run a FIPS self test
for the module, and save the F<fips.conf> configuration file:
openssl fipsinstall -module ./fips.so -out fips.conf -provider_name fips \
-section_name fipsinstall -mac_name HMAC -macopt digest:SHA256 \
-macopt hexkey:000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F10111213
Verify that the configuration file F<fips.conf> contains the correct info:
openssl fipsinstall -module ./fips.so -in fips.conf -provider_name fips \
-section_name fips_install -mac_name HMAC -macopt digest:SHA256 \
-macopt hexkey:000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F10111213 -verify
=head1 NOTES
The MAC mechanisms that are available will depend on the options
used when building OpenSSL.
The command C<openssl list -mac-algorithms> command can be used to list them.
