This reference section includes the OpenSSL commands, and is based on information provided by The Open Group. This information can also be found at the following URL:

HP SSL for OpenVMS provides a command line interface that allows you to use the cryptography functions of SSL's cryptography library from the OpenSSL command prompt (OPENSSL>). You can use the command-line interface for the following tasks:

  • Creating RSA, DH and DSA key parameters

  • Creating X.509 certificates, CSRs, and CRLs

  • Calculating message digests

  • Encrypting and decrypting with ciphers

  • Testing on SSL/TLS clients and servers

  • Handling of S/MIME signed or encrypted mail

See Chapter 6, OpenSSL Command Line Interface, for more information about the OpenSSL commands.
