.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This command output the message digest of a supplied file or files
in hexadecimal, and also generates and verifies digital
signatures using message digests.
.PP
The generic name, \fBopenssl dgst\fR, may be used with an option specifying the
algorithm to be used.
The default digest is \fBsha256\fR.
A supported \fIdigest\fR name may also be used as the sub-command name.
To see the list of supported algorithms, use \f(CW\*(C`openssl list \-digest\-algorithms\*(C'\fR
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "-help"
Print out a usage message.
.IP "\fB\-\f(BIdigest\fB\fR" 4
.IX Item "-digest"
Specifies name of a supported digest to be used. See option \fB\-list\fR below :
.IP "\fB\-list\fR" 4
.IX Item "-list"
Prints out a list of supported message digests.
.IP "\fB\-c\fR" 4
.IX Item "-c"
Print out the digest in two digit groups separated by colons, only relevant if
the \fB\-hex\fR option is given as well.
.IP "\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-debug\fR" 4
.IX Item "-d, -debug"
Print out \s-1BIO\s0 debugging information.
.IP "\fB\-hex\fR" 4
.IX Item "-hex"
Digest is to be output as a hex dump. This is the default case for a \*(L"normal\*(R"
digest as opposed to a digital signature.  See \s-1NOTES\s0 below for digital
signatures using \fB\-hex\fR.
.IP "\fB\-binary\fR" 4
.IX Item "-binary"
Output the digest or signature in binary form.
.IP "\fB\-xoflen\fR \fIlength\fR" 4
.IX Item "-xoflen length"
Set the output length for \s-1XOF\s0 algorithms, such as \fBshake128\fR and \fBshake256\fR.
This option is not supported for signing operations.
.Sp
For OpenSSL providers it is recommended to set this value for shake algorithms,
since the default values are set to only supply half of the maximum security
strength.
.Sp
For backwards compatibility reasons the default xoflen length for \fBshake128\fR is
16 (bytes) which results in a security strength of only 64 bits. To ensure the
maximum security strength of 128 bits, the xoflen should be set to at least 32.
.Sp
For backwards compatibility reasons the default xoflen length for \fBshake256\fR is
32 (bytes) which results in a security strength of only 128 bits. To ensure the
maximum security strength of 256 bits, the xoflen should be set to at least 64.
.IP "\fB\-r\fR" 4
.IX Item "-r"
Output the digest in the \*(L"coreutils\*(R" format, including newlines.
Used by programs like \fBsha1sum\fR\|(1).
.IP "\fB\-out\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-out filename"
Filename to output to, or standard output by default.
.IP "\fB\-sign\fR \fIfilename\fR|\fIuri\fR" 4
.IX Item "-sign filename|uri"
Digitally sign the digest using the given private key. Note this option
does not support Ed25519 or Ed448 private keys. Use the \fBopenssl\-pkeyutl\fR\|(1)
command instead for this.
.IP "\fB\-keyform\fR \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR|\fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR|\fBP12\fR|\fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "-keyform DER|PEM|P12|ENGINE"
The format of the key to sign with; unspecified by default.
See \fBopenssl\-format\-options\fR\|(1) for details.
.IP "\fB\-sigopt\fR \fInm\fR:\fIv\fR" 4
.IX Item "-sigopt nm:v"
Pass options to the signature algorithm during sign or verify operations.
Names and values of these options are algorithm-specific and documented
in \*(L"Signature parameters\*(R" in \fBprovider\-signature\fR\|(7).
.IP "\fB\-passin\fR \fIarg\fR" 4
.IX Item "-passin arg"
The private key password source. For more information about the format of \fIarg\fR
see \fBopenssl\-passphrase\-options\fR\|(1).
.IP "\fB\-verify\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-verify filename"
Verify the signature using the public key in \*(L"filename\*(R".
The output is either \*(L"Verified \s-1OK\*(R"\s0 or \*(L"Verification Failure\*(R".
.IP "\fB\-prverify\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-prverify filename"
Verify the signature using the private key in \*(L"filename\*(R".
.IP "\fB\-signature\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-signature filename"
The actual signature to verify.
.IP "\fB\-hmac\fR \fIkey\fR" 4
.IX Item "-hmac key"
Create a hashed \s-1MAC\s0 using \*(L"key\*(R".
.Sp
The \fBopenssl\-mac\fR\|(1) command should be preferred to using this command line
option.
.IP "\fB\-mac\fR \fIalg\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mac alg"
Create \s-1MAC\s0 (keyed Message Authentication Code). The most popular \s-1MAC\s0
algorithm is \s-1HMAC\s0 (hash-based \s-1MAC\s0), but there are other \s-1MAC\s0 algorithms
which are not based on hash, for instance \fBgost-mac\fR algorithm,
supported by the \fBgost\fR engine. \s-1MAC\s0 keys and other options should be set
via \fB\-macopt\fR parameter.
.Sp
The \fBopenssl\-mac\fR\|(1) command should be preferred to using this command line
option.
.IP "\fB\-macopt\fR \fInm\fR:\fIv\fR" 4
.IX Item "-macopt nm:v"
Passes options to \s-1MAC\s0 algorithm, specified by \fB\-mac\fR key.
Following options are supported by both by \fB\s-1HMAC\s0\fR and \fBgost-mac\fR:
.RS 4
.IP "\fBkey\fR:\fIstring\fR" 4
.IX Item "key:string"
Specifies \s-1MAC\s0 key as alphanumeric string (use if key contain printable
characters only). String length must conform to any restrictions of
the \s-1MAC\s0 algorithm for example exactly 32 chars for gost-mac.
.IP "\fBhexkey\fR:\fIstring\fR" 4
.IX Item "hexkey:string"
Specifies \s-1MAC\s0 key in hexadecimal form (two hex digits per byte).
Key length must conform to any restrictions of the \s-1MAC\s0 algorithm
for example exactly 32 chars for gost-mac.
.RE
.RS 4
.Sp
The \fBopenssl\-mac\fR\|(1) command should be preferred to using this command line
option.
.RE
.IP "\fB\-fips\-fingerprint\fR" 4
.IX Item "-fips-fingerprint"
Compute \s-1HMAC\s0 using a specific key for certain OpenSSL-FIPS operations.
.IP "\fB\-rand\fR \fIfiles\fR, \fB\-writerand\fR \fIfile\fR" 4
.IX Item "-rand files, -writerand file"
See \*(L"Random State Options\*(R" in \fBopenssl\fR\|(1) for details.
.IP "\fB\-engine\fR \fIid\fR" 4
.IX Item "-engine id"
See \*(L"Engine Options\*(R" in \fBopenssl\fR\|(1).
This option is deprecated.
.Sp
The engine is not used for digests unless the \fB\-engine_impl\fR option is
used or it is configured to do so, see \*(L"Engine Configuration Module\*(R" in \fBconfig\fR\|(5).
.IP "\fB\-engine_impl\fR \fIid\fR" 4

See \*(L"Provider Options\*(R" in \fBopenssl\fR\|(1), \fBprovider\fR\|(7), and \fBproperty\fR\|(7).
.IP "\fIfile\fR ..." 4
.IX Item "file ..."
File or files to digest. If no files are specified then standard input is
used.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"

.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The digest mechanisms that are available will depend on the options
used when building OpenSSL.
The \f(CW\*(C`openssl list \-digest\-algorithms\*(C'\fR command can be used to list them.
.PP
New or agile applications should use probably use \s-1SHA\-256.\s0 Other digests,
particularly \s-1SHA\-1\s0 and \s-1MD5,\s0 are still widely used for interoperating
with existing formats and protocols.
.PP
When signing a file, this command will automatically determine the algorithm
(\s-1RSA, ECC,\s0 etc) to use for signing based on the private key's \s-1ASN.1\s0 info.
When verifying signatures, it only handles the \s-1RSA, DSA,\s0 or \s-1ECDSA\s0 signature
itself, not the related data to identify the signer and algorithm used in
formats such as x.509, \s-1CMS,\s0 and S/MIME.
.PP
A source of random numbers is required for certain signing algorithms, in
particular \s-1ECDSA\s0 and \s-1DSA.\s0
.PP
The signing and verify options should only be used if a single file is
being signed or verified.
.PP
Hex signatures cannot be verified using \fBopenssl\fR.  Instead, use \*(L"xxd \-r\*(R"
or similar program to transform the hex signature into a binary signature
prior to verification.
.PP
The \fBopenssl\-mac\fR\|(1) command is preferred over the \fB\-hmac\fR, \fB\-mac\fR and
\&\fB\-macopt\fR command line options.
.SH "SEE ALSO"

The default digest was changed from \s-1MD5\s0 to \s-1SHA256\s0 in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
