-=head1 NAME
-
-spkac - SPKAC printing and generating utility
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-B<openssl> B<spkac>
-[B<-in filename>]
-[B<-out filename>]
-[B<-key keyfile>]
-[B<-passin arg>]
-[B<-challenge string>]
-[B<-pubkey>]
-[B<-spkac spkacname>]
-[B<-spksect section>]
-[B<-noout>]
-[B<-verify>]
-[B<-engine id>]
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-The B<spkac> command processes Netscape signed public key and challenge
-(SPKAC) files. It can print out their contents, verify the signature and
-produce its own SPKACs from a supplied private key.
-
-=head1 COMMAND OPTIONS
-
-=over 4
-
-=item B<-in filename>
-
-This specifies the input filename to read from or standard input if this
-option is not specified. Ignored if the B<-key> option is used.
-
-=item B<-out filename>
-
-specifies the output filename to write to or standard output by
-default.
-
-=item B<-key keyfile>
-
-create an SPKAC file using the private key in B<keyfile>. The
-B<-in>, B<-noout>, B<-spksect> and B<-verify> options are ignored if
-present.
-
-=item B<-passin password>
-
-the input file password source. For more information about the format of B<arg>
-see the B<PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS> section in L<openssl(1)|openssl(1)>.
-
-=item B<-challenge string>
-
-specifies the challenge string if an SPKAC is being created.
-
-=item B<-spkac spkacname>
-
-allows an alternative name form the variable containing the
-SPKAC. The default is "SPKAC". This option affects both
-generated and input SPKAC files.
-
-=item B<-spksect section>
-
-allows an alternative name form the section containing the
-SPKAC. The default is the default section.
-
-=item B<-noout>
-
-don't output the text version of the SPKAC (not used if an
-SPKAC is being created).
-
-=item B<-pubkey>
-
-output the public key of an SPKAC (not used if an SPKAC is
-being created).
-
-=item B<-verify>
-
-verifies the digital signature on the supplied SPKAC.
-
-=item B<-engine id>
-
-specifying an engine (by it's unique B<id> string) will cause B<req>
-to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
-thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
-for all available algorithms.

-=head1 EXAMPLES
-
-Print out the contents of an SPKAC:
-
- openssl spkac -in spkac.cnf
-
-Verify the signature of an SPKAC:
-
- openssl spkac -in spkac.cnf -noout -verify
-
-Create an SPKAC using the challenge string "hello":
-
- openssl spkac -key key.pem -challenge hello -out spkac.cnf
-
-Example of an SPKAC, (long lines split up for clarity):
-
- SPKAC=MIG5MGUwXDANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAANLADBIAkEA1cCoq2Wa3Ixs47uI7F\

-=head1 NOTES
-
-A created SPKAC with suitable DN components appended can be fed into
-the B<ca> utility.
-
-SPKACs are typically generated by Netscape when a form is submitted
-containing the B<KEYGEN> tag as part of the certificate enrollment
-process.
-
-The challenge string permits a primitive form of proof of possession
-of private key. By checking the SPKAC signature and a random challenge
-string some guarantee is given that the user knows the private key
-corresponding to the public key being certified. This is important in
-some applications. Without this it is possible for a previous SPKAC
-to be used in a "replay attack".
