PROGRAM:

NAME


pkcs1-conv - convert keys from PKCS#1 format to s-expression format

SYNOPSIS


pkcs1-conv [{--private-rsa-key|--public-rsa-key|--public-key-info} [--base-64]] < FILE

DESCRIPTION


This manual page documents briefly the pkcs1-conv command. This manual page was written
for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual
page.

pkcs1-conv converts private and public RSA keys from PKCS #1 format to sexp format.

OPTIONS


This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with
two dashes (`-').

By default pkcs1-conv expects a PEM-encapsulated RSA key on standard input, and will
determine its type from the Pre-Encapsulation Boundary. To convert a DER-encoded (non
PEM-encoded) key, one of the first three options below must be used:

--private-rsa-key
Specify that a DER-encoded RSAPrivateKey, as defined by PKCS #1 (RFC 3447), and
described in section A.1.2 of its appendix A, is to be expected as input.

--public-rsa-key
Specify that a DER-encoded RSAPublicKey, as defined by PKCS #1 (RFC 3447), and
described in section A.1.1 of its appendix A, is to be expected as input.

--public-key-info
Specify that a DER-encoded SubjectPublicKeyInfo, as defined by PKCS #6, and
described in section A.1 of its appendix A, encapsulating an RSAPublicKey, is to be
expected as input.

--base-64
Together with --private-rsa-key, --public-rsa-key, or --public-key-info, specify
that base64 encoding is applied on top of the DER encoding.

-?, --help
Show summary of options (not implemented).

-V, --version
Show version of program.

DIAGNOSTICS


pkcs1-conv will complain and exit with a status of 1 if the input doesn't match
expectations. In PEM mode (when no option is used), if no PEM block is found, pkcs1-conv
will output nothing but exit with a zero status.

EXAMPLES


$ openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem
$ pkcs1-conv < privkey.pem > privkey.sexp
$ openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -outform DER -out privkey.der
$ openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -outform DER -pubout -out pubkey.der
$ pkcs1-conv --rsa-private-key < privkey.der > privkey.sexp
$ pkcs1-conv --public-key-info < pubkey.der > pubkey.sexp
