+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+The \fBrsa\fR command processes \s-1RSA\s0 keys. They can be converted between various
+forms and their components printed out. \fBNote\fR this command uses the
+traditional SSLeay compatible format for private key encryption: newer
+applications should use the more secure PKCS#8 format using the \fBpkcs8\fR
+utility.
+.SH "COMMAND OPTIONS"
+.IX Header "COMMAND OPTIONS"
+.Ip "\fB\-inform DER|NET|PEM\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-inform DER|NET|PEM"
+This specifies the input format. The \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR option uses an \s-1ASN1\s0 \s-1DER\s0 encoded
+form compatible with the PKCS#1 RSAPrivateKey or SubjectPublicKeyInfo format.
+The \fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR form is the default format: it consists of the \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR format base64
+encoded with additional header and footer lines. On input PKCS#8 format private
+keys are also accepted. The \fB\s-1NET\s0\fR form is a format is described in the \fB\s-1NOTES\s0\fR
+section.
+.Ip "\fB\-outform DER|NET|PEM\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-outform DER|NET|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. If the key is encrypted a pass phrase will be
+prompted for.
+.Ip "\fB\-passin arg\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-passin arg"
+the input 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\-out filename\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-out filename"
+This specifies the output filename to write a key to or standard output if this
+option is not specified. If any encryption options are set then a pass phrase
+will be prompted for. The output filename should \fBnot\fR be the same as the input
+filename.
+.Ip "\fB\-passout password\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-passout password"
+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\-sgckey\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-sgckey"
+use the modified \s-1NET\s0 algorithm used with some versions of Microsoft \s-1IIS\s0 and \s-1SGC\s0
+keys.
+.Ip "\fB\-des|\-des3|\-idea\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-des|-des3|-idea"
+These options encrypt the private key with the \s-1DES\s0, triple \s-1DES\s0, or the
+\&\s-1IDEA\s0 ciphers respectively before outputting it. A pass phrase is prompted for.
+If none of these options is specified the key is written in plain text. This
+means that using the \fBrsa\fR utility to read in an encrypted key with no
+encryption option can be used to remove the pass phrase from a key, or by
+setting the encryption options it can be use to add or change the pass phrase.
+These options can only be used with \s-1PEM\s0 format output files.
+.Ip "\fB\-text\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-text"
+prints out the various public or private key components in
+plain text in addition to the encoded version.
+.Ip "\fB\-noout\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-noout"
+this option prevents output of the encoded version of the key.
+.Ip "\fB\-modulus\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-modulus"
+this option prints out the value of the modulus of the key.
+.Ip "\fB\-check\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-check"
+this option checks the consistency of an \s-1RSA\s0 private key.
+.Ip "\fB\-pubin\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-pubin"
+by default a private key is read from the input file: with this
+option a public key is read instead.
+.Ip "\fB\-pubout\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-pubout"
+by default a private key is output: with this option a public
+key will be output instead. This option is automatically set if
+the input is a public key.
+.SH "NOTES"
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+The \s-1PEM\s0 private key format uses the header and footer lines:
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\& -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
+\& -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
+.Ve
+The \s-1PEM\s0 public key format uses the header and footer lines:
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\& -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
+\& -----END PUBLIC KEY-----
+.Ve
+The \fB\s-1NET\s0\fR form is a format compatible with older Netscape servers
+and Microsoft \s-1IIS\s0 .key files, this uses unsalted \s-1RC4\s0 for its encryption.
+It is not very secure and so should only be used when necessary.
+.PP
+Some newer version of \s-1IIS\s0 have additional data in the exported .key
+files. To use these with the utility, view the file with a binary editor
+and look for the string \*(L"private-key\*(R", then trace back to the byte
+sequence 0x30, 0x82 (this is an \s-1ASN1\s0 \s-1SEQUENCE\s0). Copy all the data
+from this point onwards to another file and use that as the input
+to the \fBrsa\fR utility with the \fB\-inform \s-1NET\s0\fR option. If you get
+an error after entering the password try the \fB\-sgckey\fR option.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.IX Header "EXAMPLES"

+.PP
+.Vb 1

+.Ve

+.PP
+.Vb 1

+.Ve
+.SH "BUGS"
+.IX Header "BUGS"
+The command line password arguments don't currently work with
+\&\fB\s-1NET\s0\fR format.
+.PP
+There should be an option that automatically handles .key files,
+without having to manually edit them.
