NAME
openssl-dsaparam - DSA parameter manipulation and generation
SYNOPSIS
Header "SYNOPSIS" \fBopenssl dsaparam
[-help]
[-inform DER|PEM]
[-outform DER|PEM]
[-in filename]
[-out filename]
[-noout]
[-text]
[-genkey]
[-verbose]
[-rand files]
[-writerand file]
[-engine id]
[-provider name]
[-provider-path path]
[-propquery propq]
[numbits]
DESCRIPTION
Header "DESCRIPTION" This command is used to manipulate or generate DSA parameter files.
DSA parameter generation can be a slow process and as a result the same set of DSA parameters is often used to generate several distinct keys.
OPTIONS
Header "OPTIONS" -help 4
Item "-help" Print out a usage message.
"-inform DER|PEM" 4
Item "-inform DER|PEM" The DSA parameters input format; unspecified by default.
See openssl-format-options\|(1) for details.
"-outform DER|PEM" 4
Item "-outform DER|PEM" The DSA parameters output format; the default is PEM.
See openssl-format-options\|(1) for details.
.Sp
Parameters are a sequence of ASN.1 INTEGERs: p, q, and g.
This is compatible with RFC 2459 DSS-Parms structure.
"-in filename" 4
Item "-in filename" This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if
this option is not specified. If the numbits parameter is included then
this option will be ignored.
"-out filename" 4
Item "-out filename" This specifies the output filename parameters to. Standard output is used
if this option is not present. The output filename should not be the same
as the input filename.
-noout 4
Item "-noout" This option inhibits the output of the encoded version of the parameters.
-text 4
Item "-text" This option prints out the DSA parameters in human readable form.
-genkey 4
Item "-genkey" This option will generate a DSA either using the specified or generated
parameters.
-verbose 4
Item "-verbose" Print extra details about the operations being performed.
"-rand files, -writerand file" 4
Item "-rand files, -writerand file" See "Random State Options" in openssl\|(1) for details.
"-engine id" 4
Item "-engine id" See "Engine Options" in openssl\|(1).
This option is deprecated.
numbits 4
Item "numbits" This option specifies that a parameter set should be generated of size
\fInumbits. It must be the last option. If this option is included then
the input file (if any) is ignored.
"-provider name" 4
Item "-provider name" 0
"-provider-path path" 4
Item "-provider-path path" "-propquery propq" 4
Item "-propquery propq" See "Provider Options" in openssl\|(1), provider\|(7), and property\|(7).

HISTORY
Header "HISTORY" The -engine option was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
The -C option was removed in OpenSSL 3.0.
