161.IX Item "-inform DER|PEM"
162This specifies the input format. The \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR option with a private key uses
163an \s-1ASN1\s0 \s-1DER\s0 encoded form of an \s-1ASN\s0.1 \s-1SEQUENCE\s0 consisting of the values of
164version (currently zero), p, q, g, the public and private key components
165respectively as \s-1ASN\s0.1 INTEGERs. When used with a public key it uses a
166SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure: it is an error if the key is not \s-1DSA\s0.
167.Sp
168The \fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR form is the default format: it consists of the \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR format base64

194.IP "\fB\-des|\-des3|\-idea\fR" 4

196These options encrypt the private key with the \s-1DES\s0, triple \s-1DES\s0, or the
197\&\s-1IDEA\s0 ciphers respectively before outputting it. A pass phrase is prompted for.
198If none of these options is specified the key is written in plain text. This
199means that using the \fBdsa\fR utility to read in an encrypted key with no
200encryption option can be used to remove the pass phrase from a key, or by
201setting the encryption options it can be use to add or change the pass phrase.
202These options can only be used with \s-1PEM\s0 format output files.

214by default a private key is read from the input file: with this option a
215public key is read instead.

217.IX Item "-pubout"
218by default a private key is output. With this option a public
219key will be output instead. This option is automatically set if the input is
220a public key.
221.IP "\fB\-engine id\fR" 4
222.IX Item "-engine id"
223specifying an engine (by its unique \fBid\fR string) will cause \fBdsa\fR
224to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
225thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default

195.IX Item "-des|-des3|-idea"
196These options encrypt the private key with the \s-1DES\s0, triple \s-1DES\s0, or the
197\&\s-1IDEA\s0 ciphers respectively before outputting it. A pass phrase is prompted for.
198If none of these options is specified the key is written in plain text. This
199means that using the \fBdsa\fR utility to read in an encrypted key with no
200encryption option can be used to remove the pass phrase from a key, or by
201setting the encryption options it can be use to add or change the pass phrase.
202These options can only be used with \s-1PEM\s0 format output files.

211this option prints out the value of the public key component of the key.

214by default a private key is read from the input file: with this option a
215public key is read instead.
216.IP "\fB\-pubout\fR" 4
217.IX Item "-pubout"
218by default a private key is output. With this option a public
219key will be output instead. This option is automatically set if the input is
220a public key.
221.IP "\fB\-engine id\fR" 4
222.IX Item "-engine id"
223specifying an engine (by its unique \fBid\fR string) will cause \fBdsa\fR
224to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
225thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
226for all available algorithms.
