thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
for all available algorithms.
.IP "\fB\-engine_impl\fR" 4
.IX Item "-engine_impl"
When used with the \fB\-engine\fR option, it specifies to also use
engine \fBid\fR for crypto operations.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The operations and options supported vary according to the key algorithm
and its implementation. The OpenSSL operations and options are indicated below.
.PP
Unless otherwise mentioned all algorithms support the \fBdigest:alg\fR option
which specifies the digest in use for sign, verify and verifyrecover operations.
The value \fBalg\fR should represent a digest name as used in the
\&\fIEVP_get_digestbyname()\fR function for example \fBsha1\fR. This value is not used to
hash the input data. It is used (by some algorithms) for sanity-checking the
lengths of data passed in to the \fBpkeyutl\fR and for creating the structures that
make up the signature (e.g. \fBDigestInfo\fR in \s-1RSASSA\s0 PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures).
.PP
This utility does not hash the input data but rather it will use the data
directly as input to the signature algorithm. Depending on the key type,
signature type, and mode of padding, the maximum acceptable lengths of input
data differ. The signed data can't be longer than the key modulus with \s-1RSA.\s0 In
case of \s-1ECDSA\s0 and \s-1DSA\s0 the data shouldn't be longer than the field
size, otherwise it will be silently truncated to the field size. In any event
the input size must not be larger than the largest supported digest size.
.PP
In other words, if the value of digest is \fBsha1\fR the input should be the 20
bytes long binary encoding of the \s-1SHA\-1\s0 hash function output.
.PP
The Ed25519 and Ed448 signature algorithms are not supported by this utility.
They accept non-hashed input, but this utility can only be used to sign hashed
input.
.SH "RSA ALGORITHM"
.IX Header "RSA ALGORITHM"
The \s-1RSA\s0 algorithm generally supports the encrypt, decrypt, sign,
verify and verifyrecover operations. However, some padding modes
support only a subset of these operations. The following additional
\&\fBpkeyopt\fR values are supported:
.IP "\fBrsa_padding_mode:mode\fR" 4
.IX Item "rsa_padding_mode:mode"
This sets the \s-1RSA\s0 padding mode. Acceptable values for \fBmode\fR are \fBpkcs1\fR for
PKCS#1 padding, \fBsslv23\fR for SSLv23 padding, \fBnone\fR for no padding, \fBoaep\fR
for \fB\s-1OAEP\s0\fR mode, \fBx931\fR for X9.31 mode and \fBpss\fR for \s-1PSS.\s0
.Sp
In PKCS#1 padding if the message digest is not set then the supplied data is
signed or verified directly instead of using a \fBDigestInfo\fR structure. If a
digest is set then the a \fBDigestInfo\fR structure is used and its the length
must correspond to the digest type.
.Sp
For \fBoaep\fR mode only encryption and decryption is supported.
.Sp
For \fBx931\fR if the digest type is set it is used to format the block data
otherwise the first byte is used to specify the X9.31 digest \s-1ID.\s0 Sign,
verify and verifyrecover are can be performed in this mode.
.Sp
For \fBpss\fR mode only sign and verify are supported and the digest type must be
specified.
.IP "\fBrsa_pss_saltlen:len\fR" 4
.IX Item "rsa_pss_saltlen:len"
For \fBpss\fR mode only this option specifies the salt length. Three special
values are supported: \*(L"digest\*(R" sets the salt length to the digest length,
\&\*(L"max\*(R" sets the salt length to the maximum permissible value. When verifying
\&\*(L"auto\*(R" causes the salt length to be automatically determined based on the
\&\fB\s-1PSS\s0\fR block structure.
.IP "\fBrsa_mgf1_md:digest\fR" 4
.IX Item "rsa_mgf1_md:digest"
For \s-1PSS\s0 and \s-1OAEP\s0 padding sets the \s-1MGF1\s0 digest. If the \s-1MGF1\s0 digest is not
explicitly set in \s-1PSS\s0 mode then the signing digest is used.
.IP "\fBrsa_oaep_md:\fR\fIdigest\fR" 4
.IX Item "rsa_oaep_md:digest"
Sets the digest used for the \s-1OAEP\s0 hash function. If not explicitly set then
\&\s-1SHA1\s0 is used.
.SH "RSA-PSS ALGORITHM"
.IX Header "RSA-PSS ALGORITHM"
The RSA-PSS algorithm is a restricted version of the \s-1RSA\s0 algorithm which only
supports the sign and verify operations with \s-1PSS\s0 padding. The following
additional \fBpkeyopt\fR values are supported:
.IP "\fBrsa_padding_mode:mode\fR, \fBrsa_pss_saltlen:len\fR, \fBrsa_mgf1_md:digest\fR" 4
.IX Item "rsa_padding_mode:mode, rsa_pss_saltlen:len, rsa_mgf1_md:digest"
These have the same meaning as the \fB\s-1RSA\s0\fR algorithm with some additional
restrictions. The padding mode can only be set to \fBpss\fR which is the
default value.
.Sp
If the key has parameter restrictions than the digest, \s-1MGF1\s0
digest and salt length are set to the values specified in the parameters.
The digest and \s-1MG\s0 cannot be changed and the salt length cannot be set to a
value less than the minimum restriction.
.SH "DSA ALGORITHM"
.IX Header "DSA ALGORITHM"
The \s-1DSA\s0 algorithm supports signing and verification operations only. Currently
there are no additional \fB\-pkeyopt\fR options other than \fBdigest\fR. The \s-1SHA1\s0
digest is assumed by default.
.SH "DH ALGORITHM"
.IX Header "DH ALGORITHM"
The \s-1DH\s0 algorithm only supports the derivation operation and no additional
\&\fB\-pkeyopt\fR options.
.SH "EC ALGORITHM"
.IX Header "EC ALGORITHM"
The \s-1EC\s0 algorithm supports sign, verify and derive operations. The sign and
verify operations use \s-1ECDSA\s0 and derive uses \s-1ECDH. SHA1\s0 is assumed by default for
the \fB\-pkeyopt\fR \fBdigest\fR option.
.SH "X25519 and X448 ALGORITHMS"
.IX Header "X25519 and X448 ALGORITHMS"
The X25519 and X448 algorithms support key derivation only. Currently there are
no additional options.
