DESCRIPTION

This command is used to generate list of algorithms or disabled features.

OPTIONS

-help 

Display a usage message.

-verbose 

Displays extra information. The options below where verbosity applies say a bit more about what that means.

-select name 

Only list algorithms that match this name.

-1  

List the commands, digest-commands, or cipher-commands in a single column. If used, this option must be given first.

-all-algorithms 

Display lists of all algorithms. These include: 

Asymmetric ciphers
Decoders
Digests
Encoders
Key derivation algorithms (KDF)
Key encapsulation methods (KEM)
Key exchange algorithms (KEX)
Key managers
Message authentication code algorithms (MAC)
Random number generators (RNG, DRBG)
Signature algorithms
Store loaders
Symmetric ciphers
-commands 

Display a list of standard commands.

-standard-commands 

List of standard commands.

-digest-commands 

This option is deprecated. Use -digest-algorithms instead.

Display a list of message digest commands, which are typically used as input to the openssl dgst or openssl speed commands.

-cipher-commands 

This option is deprecated. Use cipher-algorithms instead.

Display a list of cipher commands, which are typically used as input to the openssl enc or openssl speed commands.

-cipher-algorithms 
-digest-algorithms 
-kdf-algorithms, 
-mac-algorithms 

Display a list of symmetric cipher, digest, kdf and mac algorithms. See "Display of algorithm names" for a description of how names are displayed.

In verbose mode, the algorithms provided by a provider will get additional information on what parameters each implementation supports.

-random-instances 

List the primary, public and private random number generator details.

-random-generators 

Display a list of random number generators. See "Display of algorithm names" for a description of how names are displayed.

-encoders 

Display a list of encoders. See "Display of algorithm names" for a description of how names are displayed.

In verbose mode, the algorithms provided by a provider will get additional information on what parameters each implementation supports.

-decoders 

Display a list of decoders. See "Display of algorithm names" for a description of how names are displayed.

In verbose mode, the algorithms provided by a provider will get additional information on what parameters each implementation supports.

-public-key-algorithms 

Display a list of public key algorithms, with each algorithm as a block of multiple lines, all but the first are indented. The options key-exchange-algorithms, kem-algorithms, signature- algorithms, and asymcipher-algorithms will display similar info.

-public-key-methods 

Display a list of public key methods.

-key-managers 

Display a list of key managers.

-key-exchange-algorithms 

Display a list of key exchange algorithms.

-kem-algorithms 

Display a list of key encapsulation algorithms.

-signature-algorithms 

Display a list of signature algorithms.

-asymcipher-algorithms 

Display a list of asymmetric cipher algorithms.

-store-loaders 

Display a list of store loaders.

-providers 

Display a list of all loaded providers with their names, version and status.

In verbose mode, the full version and all provider parameters will additionally be displayed.

-engines 

This option is deprecated.

Display a list of loaded engines.

-disabled 

Display a list of disabled features, those that were compiled out of the installation.

-objects 

Display a list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names. They're listed in the format described in "ASN1 Object Configuration Module" in config(5).

-options command 

Output a two-column list of the options accepted by the specified command. The first is the option name, and the second is a one- character indication of what type of parameter it takes, if any. This is an internal option, used for checking that the documentation is complete.

-provider name 
-provider-path path 
-propquery propq 

See Provider Options in openssl for details.

Display of algorithm names

Algorithm names may be displayed in one of two manners:

Legacy implementations 

Legacy implementations will simply display the main name of the algorithm on a line of its own, or in the form "<foo " bar>> to show that "foo" is an alias for the main name, "bar".

Provided implementations 

Implementations from a provider are displayed like this if the implementation is labeled with a single name: 

 foo @ bar

or like this if it's labeled with multiple names: 

 { foo1, foo2 } @bar

In both cases, "bar" is the name of the provider.

HISTORY

The -engines, -digest-commands, and -cipher-commands options were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
