The B<DER> option uses an ASN1 DER encoded -form compatible with RFC2459 (PKIX) DSS-Parms that is a SEQUENCE consisting -of p, q and g respectively. The PEM form is the default format: it consists -of the B<DER> format base64 encoded with additional header and footer lines. - -=item B<-outform DER|PEM> - -This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning as the -B<-inform> option. - -=item B<-in filename> - -This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if -this option is not specified. If the B<numbits> parameter is included then -this option will be ignored. - -=item B<-out filename> - -This specifies the output filename parameters to. Standard output is used -if this option is not present. The output filename should B<not> be the same -as the input filename. - -=item B<-noout> - -this option inhibits the output of the encoded version of the parameters. - -=item B<-text> - -this option prints out the DSA parameters in human readable form. - -=item B<-C> - -this option converts the parameters into C code. The parameters can then -be loaded by calling the B<get_dsaXXX()> function. - -=item B<-genkey> - -this option will generate a DSA either using the specified or generated -parameters. - -=item B<-rand file(s)> - -a file or files containing random data used to seed the random number -generator, or an EGD socket (see L<RAND_egd(3)|RAND_egd(3)>). -Multiple files can be specified separated by a OS-dependent character. -The separator is B<;> for MS-Windows, B<,> for OpenVMS, and B<:> for -all others. - -=item B<numbits> - -this option specifies that a parameter set should be generated of size -B<numbits>. It must be the last option. If this option is included then -the input file (if any) is ignored. - -=item B<-engine id> - -specifying an engine (by its unique B<id> string) will cause B<dsaparam> -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. - -=back - -=head1 NOTES - -PEM format DSA parameters use the header and footer lines: - - -----BEGIN DSA PARAMETERS----- - -----END DSA PARAMETERS----- - -DSA parameter generation is a slow process and as a result the same set of -DSA parameters is often used to generate several distinct keys. - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -L<gendsa(1)|gendsa(1)>, L<dsa(1)|dsa(1)>, L<genrsa(1)|genrsa(1)>, -L<rsa(1)|rsa(1)> - -=cut |
