With the \fB\-topk8\fR option the situation is +reversed: it reads a traditional format private key and writes a PKCS#8 +format key. +.Ip "\fB\-inform DER|PEM\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-inform DER|PEM" +This specifies the input format. If a PKCS#8 format key is expected on input +then either a \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR or \fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR encoded version of a PKCS#8 key will be +expected. Otherwise the \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR or \fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR format of the traditional format +private key is used. +.Ip "\fB\-outform DER|PEM\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-outform DER|PEM" +This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning as the +\&\fB\-inform\fR option. +.Ip "\fB\-in filename\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-in filename" +This specifies the input filename to read a key from or standard input if this +option is not specified.

The output filename should \fBnot\fR be the same as the input +filename. +.Ip "\fB\-passout arg\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-passout arg" +the output file password source. For more information about the format of \fBarg\fR +see the \fB\s-1PASS\s0 \s-1PHRASE\s0 \s-1ARGUMENTS\s0\fR section in openssl(1). +.Ip "\fB\-nocrypt\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-nocrypt" +PKCS#8 keys generated or input are normally PKCS#8 EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo +structures using an appropriate password based encryption algorithm. With +this option an unencrypted PrivateKeyInfo structure is expected or output. +This option does not encrypt private keys at all and should only be used +when absolutely necessary. Certain software such as some versions of Java +code signing software used unencrypted private keys. +.Ip "\fB\-nooct\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-nooct" +This option generates \s-1RSA\s0 private keys in a broken format that some software +uses. Specifically the private key should be enclosed in a \s-1OCTET\s0 \s-1STRING\s0 +but some software just includes the structure itself without the +surrounding \s-1OCTET\s0 \s-1STRING\s0. +.Ip "\fB\-embed\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-embed" +This option generates \s-1DSA\s0 keys in a broken format. The \s-1DSA\s0 parameters are +embedded inside the PrivateKey structure. In this form the \s-1OCTET\s0 \s-1STRING\s0 +contains an \s-1ASN1\s0 \s-1SEQUENCE\s0 consisting of two structures: a \s-1SEQUENCE\s0 containing +the parameters and an \s-1ASN1\s0 \s-1INTEGER\s0 containing the private key. +.Ip "\fB\-nsdb\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-nsdb" +This option generates \s-1DSA\s0 keys in a broken format compatible with Netscape +private key databases. The PrivateKey contains a \s-1SEQUENCE\s0 consisting of +the public and private keys respectively. +.Ip "\fB\-v2 alg\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-v2 alg" +This option enables the use of PKCS#5 v2.0 algorithms. Normally PKCS#8 +private keys are encrypted with the password based encryption algorithm +called \fBpbeWithMD5AndDES-CBC\fR this uses 56 bit \s-1DES\s0 encryption but it +was the strongest encryption algorithm supported in PKCS#5 v1.5. Using +the \fB\-v2\fR option PKCS#5 v2.0 algorithms are used which can use any +encryption algorithm such as 168 bit triple \s-1DES\s0 or 128 bit \s-1RC2\s0 however +not many implementations support PKCS#5 v2.0 yet. If you are just using +private keys with OpenSSL then this doesn't matter. +.Sp +The \fBalg\fR argument is the encryption algorithm to use, valid values include +\&\fBdes\fR, \fBdes3\fR and \fBrc2\fR. It is recommended that \fBdes3\fR is used. +.Ip "\fB\-v1 alg\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-v1 alg" +This option specifies a PKCS#5 v1.5 or PKCS#12 algorithm to use. A complete +list of possible algorithms is included below. +.SH "NOTES" +.IX Header "NOTES" +The encrypted form of a \s-1PEM\s0 encode PKCS#8 files uses the following +headers and footers: +.PP +.Vb 2 +\& -----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY----- +\& -----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY----- +.Ve +The unencrypted form uses: +.PP +.Vb 2 +\& -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- +\& -----END PRIVATE KEY----- +.Ve +Private keys encrypted using PKCS#5 v2.0 algorithms and high iteration +counts are more secure that those encrypted using the traditional +SSLeay compatible formats.
