- openssl:
- A command line tool which provides the following functions:
-
- enc - a general encryption program that can encrypt/decrypt using
- one of 17 different cipher/mode combinations. The
- input/output can also be converted to/from base64
- ascii encoding.
- dgst - a generate message digesting program that will generate
- message digests for any of md2, md5, sha (sha-0 or sha-1)
- or mdc2.
- asn1parse - parse and display the structure of an asn1 encoded
- binary file.
- rsa - Manipulate RSA private keys.
- dsa - Manipulate DSA private keys.
- dh - Manipulate Diffie-Hellman parameter files.
- dsaparam- Manipulate and generate DSA parameter files.
- crl - Manipulate certificate revocation lists.
- crt2pkcs7- Generate a pkcs7 object containing a crl and a certificate.
- x509 - Manipulate x509 certificates, self-sign certificates.
- req - Manipulate PKCS#10 certificate requests and also
- generate certificate requests.
- genrsa - Generates an arbitrary sized RSA private key.
- gendsa - Generates DSA parameters.
- gendh - Generates a set of Diffie-Hellman parameters, the prime
- will be a strong prime.
- ca - Create certificates from PKCS#10 certificate requests.
- This program also maintains a database of certificates
- issued.
- verify - Check x509 certificate signatures.
- speed - Benchmark OpenSSL's ciphers.
- s_server- A test SSL server.
- s_client- A test SSL client.
- s_time - Benchmark SSL performance of SSL server programs.
- errstr - Convert from OpenSSL hex error codes to a readable form.
- nseq - Netscape certificate sequence utility
