# NAME

pkey - public or private key processing tool

# SYNOPSIS

gmssl pkey [-help] [-inform PEM|DER] [-outform PEM|DER] [-in filename] [-passin arg] [-out filename] [-passout arg] [-traditional] [-cipher] [-text] [-text_pub] [-noout] [-pubin] [-pubout] [-engine id]

# DESCRIPTION

The pkey command processes public or private keys. They can be converted between various forms and their components printed out.

pkey指令处理公钥或者私钥。 它们可以在各种形式之间进行转换，并将其组件打印出来。

# OPTIONS

-help

  Print out a usage message.

  打印使用信息。

-inform DER|PEM

  This specifies the input format DER or PEM.

  该选项指出了输入格式是DER还是PEM。

-outform DER|PEM

  This specifies the output format, the options have the same meaning as the -inform option.

  该选项指出了输出格式，与-inform意义相同。

-in filename

  This specifies the input filename to read a key from or standard input if this option is not specified. If the key is encrypted a pass phrase will be prompted for.

  如果该选项没有被指定，则指定从密钥中读取输入文件名或者标准输入。 如果密钥被加密，将提示输入密码。

-passin arg

  the input file password source. For more information about the format of arg see the PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS section in gmssl(1).

  输入文件的密码来源。有关arg格式的更多信息，请参阅gmssl（1）中的PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS部分。

-out filename

  This specifies the output filename to write a key to or standard output if this option is not specified. If any encryption options are set then a pass phrase will be prompted for. The output filename should not be the same as the input filename.

  如果未指定此选项，则指定将密钥写入或输出的输出文件名。 如果设置了任何加密选项， 则会提示输入密码。 输出文件名不能与输入文件名相同。

-passout password

  the output file password source. For more information about the format of arg see the PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS section in gmssl(1).

  输出文件的密码来源。有关arg格式的更多信息请参阅gmssl(1)中的PASS PHARSE ARGUMENTS部分。

-traditional

  normally a private key is written using standard format: this is PKCS#8 form with the appropriate encryption algorithm (if any). If the -traditional option is specified then the older "traditional" format is used instead.

  通常使用标准格式写入私钥：这是具有适当加密算法（如果有的话）的PKCS＃8表单。 如果指定了-traditional选项，则使用较旧的“traditional”格式。

-cipher

  These options encrypt the private key with the supplied cipher. Any algorithm name accepted by EVP_get_cipherbyname() is acceptable such as des3.

  这些选项使用提供的密码加密私钥。 EVP_get_cipherbyname（）接受的任何算法名称都可以接受，如des3。

-text

  prints out the various public or private key components in plain text in addition to the encoded version.

  除了编码版本之外，以纯文本形式打印各种公共或私人密钥组件。

-text_pub

  print out only public key components even if a private key is being processed.

  即使正在处理私钥，也打印公钥组件。

-noout

  do not output the encoded version of the key.

  不打印出密钥的编码版本信息。

-pubin

  by default a private key is read from the input file: with this option a public key is read instead.

  默认从输入文件读取一个私钥：使用该选项后则变为读取一个公钥。

-pubout

  by default a private key is output: with this option a public key will be output instead. This option is automatically set if the input is a public key.

  默认是输出一个私钥：使用该选项后则变为输出一个公钥。如果输入是公钥则该选项会自动设置。

-engine id

  specifying an engine (by its unique id string) will cause pkey 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.

  指定要使用的硬件引擎。指定一个引擎（通过其唯一的id字符串）将导致pkey尝试获取对指定引擎的功能引用 ，从而如果需要的话初始化它。 然后，引擎将被设置为所有可用算法的默认值。

# EXAMPLES

To remove the pass phrase on an RSA private key:

     gmssl pkey -in key.pem -out keyout.pem

To encrypt a private key using triple DES:

     gmssl pkey -in key.pem -des3 -out keyout.pem

To convert a private key from PEM to DER format:

     gmssl pkey -in key.pem -outform DER -out keyout.der

To print out the components of a private key to standard output:

     gmssl pkey -in key.pem -text -noout

To print out the public components of a private key to standard output:

     gmssl pkey -in key.pem -text_pub -noout

To just output the public part of a private key:

     gmssl pkey -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
