pkeyparam − public key algorithm parameter processing tool
openssl pkeyparam [−in filename] [−out filename] [−text] [−noout] [−engine id]
The pkey command processes public or private keys. They can be converted between various forms and their components printed out.
−in filename
This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if this option is not specified.
−out filename
This specifies the output filename to write parameters to or standard output if this option is not specified.
−text
prints out the parameters in plain text in addition to the encoded version.
−noout
do not output the encoded version of the parameters.
−engine id
specifying an engine (by its unique id string) will cause pkeyparam 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.
Print out text version of parameters:
openssl pkeyparam −in param.pem −text
There are no −inform or −outform options for this command because only PEM format is supported because the key type is determined by the PEM headers.
