openssl-ecparam - EC parameter manipulation and generation

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

openssl ecparam [-help] [-inform DER|PEM] [-outform DER|PEM] [-in filename] [-out filename] [-noout] [-text] [-check] [-check_named] [-name arg] [-list_curves] [-conv_form arg] [-param_enc arg] [-no_seed] [-genkey] [-engine id] [-rand files] [-writerand file] [-provider name] [-provider-path path] [-propquery propq]

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

This command is used to manipulate or generate EC parameter files.

OpenSSL is currently not able to generate new groups and therefore this command can only create EC parameters from known (named) curves.

<h1 id="OPTIONS">OPTIONS</h1>

<dl>

Print out a usage message.

</dd>
<dt id="inform-DER-PEM">-inform DER|PEM</dt>
<dd>

The EC parameters input format; unspecified by default. See <a href="../man1/openssl-format-options.html">openssl-format-options(1)</a> for details.

</dd>
<dt id="outform-DER-PEM">-outform DER|PEM</dt>
<dd>

The EC parameters output format; the default is PEM. See <a href="../man1/openssl-format-options.html">openssl-format-options(1)</a> for details.

Parameters are encoded as EcpkParameters as specified in IETF RFC 3279.

</dd>
<dt id="in-filename">-in filename</dt>
<dd>

This specifies the input filename to read parameters from or standard input if this option is not specified.

</dd>
<dt id="out-filename">-out filename</dt>
<dd>

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.

</dd>
<dt id="noout">-noout</dt>
<dd>

This option inhibits the output of the encoded version of the parameters.

</dd>
<dt id="text">-text</dt>
<dd>

This option prints out the EC parameters in human readable form.

</dd>
<dt id="check">-check</dt>
<dd>

Validate the elliptic curve parameters.

</dd>
<dt id="check_named">-check_named</dt>
<dd>

Validate the elliptic name curve parameters by checking if the curve parameters match any built-in curves.

</dd>
<dt id="name-arg">-name arg</dt>
<dd>

Use the EC parameters with the specified &#39;short&#39; name. Use -list_curves to get a list of all currently implemented EC parameters.

</dd>
<dt id="list_curves">-list_curves</dt>
<dd>

Print out a list of all currently implemented EC parameters names and exit.

</dd>
<dt id="conv_form-arg">-conv_form arg</dt>
<dd>

This specifies how the points on the elliptic curve are converted into octet strings. Possible values are: compressed, uncompressed (the default value) and hybrid. For more information regarding the point conversion forms please read the X9.62 standard. Note Due to patent issues the compressed option is disabled by default for binary curves and can be enabled by defining the preprocessor macro OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP at compile time.

</dd>
<dt id="param_enc-arg">-param_enc arg</dt>
<dd>

This specifies how the elliptic curve parameters are encoded. Possible value are: named_curve, i.e. the ec parameters are specified by an OID, or explicit where the ec parameters are explicitly given (see RFC 3279 for the definition of the EC parameters structures). The default value is named_curve. Note the implicitlyCA alternative, as specified in RFC 3279, is currently not implemented in OpenSSL.

</dd>
<dt id="no_seed">-no_seed</dt>
<dd>

This option inhibits that the &#39;seed&#39; for the parameter generation is included in the ECParameters structure (see RFC 3279).

</dd>
<dt id="genkey">-genkey</dt>
<dd>

This option will generate an EC private key using the specified parameters.

</dd>
<dt id="engine-id">-engine id</dt>
<dd>

See <a href="../man1/openssl.html">&quot;Engine Options&quot; in openssl(1)</a>. This option is deprecated.

</dd>
<dt id="rand-files--writerand-file">-rand files, -writerand file</dt>
<dd>

See <a href="../man1/openssl.html">&quot;Random State Options&quot; in openssl(1)</a> for details.

</dd>
<dt id="provider-name">-provider name</dt>
<dd>

</dd>
<dt id="provider-path-path">-provider-path path</dt>
<dd>

</dd>
<dt id="propquery-propq">-propquery propq</dt>
<dd>

See <a href="../man1/openssl.html">&quot;Provider Options&quot; in openssl(1)</a>, <a href="../man7/provider.html">provider(7)</a>, and <a href="../man7/property.html">property(7)</a>.

The <a href="../man1/openssl-genpkey.html">openssl-genpkey(1)</a> and <a href="../man1/openssl-pkeyparam.html">openssl-pkeyparam(1)</a> commands are capable of performing all the operations this command can, as well as supporting other public key types.

<h1 id="EXAMPLES">EXAMPLES</h1>

The documentation for the <a href="../man1/openssl-genpkey.html">openssl-genpkey(1)</a> and <a href="../man1/openssl-pkeyparam.html">openssl-pkeyparam(1)</a> commands contains examples equivalent to the ones listed here.

To create EC parameters with the group &#39;prime192v1&#39;:

<pre><code> openssl ecparam -out ec_param.pem -name prime192v1</code></pre>

To create EC parameters with explicit parameters:

<pre><code> openssl ecparam -out ec_param.pem -name prime192v1 -param_enc explicit</code></pre>

To validate given EC parameters:

<pre><code> openssl ecparam -in ec_param.pem -check</code></pre>

To create EC parameters and a private key:

<pre><code> openssl ecparam -out ec_key.pem -name prime192v1 -genkey</code></pre>

To change the point encoding to &#39;compressed&#39;:

<pre><code> openssl ecparam -in ec_in.pem -out ec_out.pem -conv_form compressed</code></pre>

To print out the EC parameters to standard output:

<pre><code> openssl ecparam -in ec_param.pem -noout -text</code></pre>

<h1 id="HISTORY">HISTORY</h1>

The -engine option was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.

The -C option was removed in OpenSSL 3.0.
