Message Digest Commands

Standard Commands

The following are the OpenSSL standard commands.

`asn1parse`		Parse an ASN.1 sequence
`ca`		Certificate Authority (CA) Management
`ciphers`		Cipher Suite Description Determination
`crl`		Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Management
`crl2pkcs7`		CRL to PKCS#7 Conversion
`dgst`		Message Digest Calculation
`dh`		Diffie-Hellman Parameter Management Obsoleted by `dHParam`.
`dHParam`		Generation and Management of Diffie-Hellman Parameters
`dsa`		DSA Data Management
`dsaparam`		DSA Parameter Generation
`enc`		Encoding with Ciphers
`errstr`		Error Number to Error String Conversion
`gendh`		Generation of Diffie-Hellman Parameters. Obsoleted by `dHParam`.
`gendsa`		Generation of DSA Parameters
`genrsa`		Generation of RSA Parameters
`nseq`		Netscape Certificate Sequence Utility
`passwd`		Generation of hashed passwords
`pkcs12`		PKCS#12 Data Management
`pkcs7`		PKCS#7 Data Management
`pkcs8`		PKCS#8 Data Management
`rand`		Generate pseudo-random bytes
`req`		X.509 Certificate Signing Request (CSR) Management
`rsa`		RSA Data Management
`rsautl`		RSA utility for signing, verification, encryption, and decryption
`s_client`		Implements a generic SSL/TLS client that can establish a transparent connection to a remote server speaking SSL/TLS. This command, however, is intended for testing purposes only and provides only rudimentary interface functionality. Internally, however, it uses most of the functionality of the OpenSSL `ssl` library.
`s_server`		Implements a generic SSL/TLS server that accepts connections from remote clients speaking SSL/TLS. It is intended for testing purposes only and provides only rudimentary interface functionality. Internally, however, it uses most of the functionality of the OpenSSL `ssl` library. It provides both its own command-line oriented protocol for testing SSL functions and a simple HTTP response facility to emulate an SSL/TLS-aware web server.
`s_time`		SSL Connection Timer
`sess_id`		SSL Session Data Management
`smime`		S/MIME mail processing
`speed`		Algorithm Speed Measurement
`spkac`		Signed public key and challenge
`verify`		X.509 Certificate Verification
`version`		OpenSSL Version Information
`x509`		X.509 Certificate Data Management
