It can print out their contents, verify the signature and produce its own SPKACs from a supplied private key. .SH "COMMAND OPTIONS" .IX Header "COMMAND OPTIONS" .IP "\fB\-in filename\fR" 4 .IX Item "-in filename" This specifies the input filename to read from or standard input if this option is not specified.

The \&\fB\-in\fR, \fB\-noout\fR, \fB\-spksect\fR and \fB\-verify\fR options are ignored if present. .IP "\fB\-passin password\fR" 4 .IX Item "-passin password" the input file password source. For more information about the format of \fBarg\fR see the \fB\s-1PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS\s0\fR section in \fBopenssl\fR\|(1). .IP "\fB\-challenge string\fR" 4 .IX Item "-challenge string" specifies the challenge string if an \s-1SPKAC\s0 is being created. .IP "\fB\-spkac spkacname\fR" 4 .IX Item "-spkac spkacname" allows an alternative name form the variable containing the \&\s-1SPKAC.\s0 The default is \*(L"\s-1SPKAC\*(R".\s0 This option affects both generated and input \s-1SPKAC\s0 files. .IP "\fB\-spksect section\fR" 4 .IX Item "-spksect section" allows an alternative name form the section containing the \&\s-1SPKAC.\s0 The default is the default section. .IP "\fB\-noout\fR" 4 .IX Item "-noout" don't output the text version of the \s-1SPKAC\s0 (not used if an \&\s-1SPKAC\s0 is being created). .IP "\fB\-pubkey\fR" 4 .IX Item "-pubkey" output the public key of an \s-1SPKAC\s0 (not used if an \s-1SPKAC\s0 is being created). .IP "\fB\-verify\fR" 4 .IX Item "-verify" verifies the digital signature on the supplied \s-1SPKAC.\s0 .IP "\fB\-engine id\fR" 4 .IX Item "-engine id" specifying an engine (by its unique \fBid\fR string) will cause \fBspkac\fR to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine, thus initialising it if needed.

By checking the \s-1SPKAC\s0 signature and a random challenge string some guarantee is given that the user knows the private key corresponding to the public key being certified. This is important in some applications. Without this it is possible for a previous \s-1SPKAC\s0 to be used in a \*(L"replay attack\*(R". .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBca\fR\|(1)
