156The \fBspkac\fR command processes Netscape signed public key and challenge

158produce its own SPKACs from a supplied private key.

168default.

172\&\fB\-in\fR, \fB\-noout\fR, \fB\-spksect\fR and \fB\-verify\fR options are ignored if

201.IP "\fB\-engine id\fR" 4
202.IX Item "-engine id"
203specifying an engine (by its unique \fBid\fR string) will cause \fBspkac\fR
204to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
205thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
206for all available algorithms.

240.PP
241SPKACs are typically generated by Netscape when a form is submitted
242containing the \fB\s-1KEYGEN\s0\fR tag as part of the certificate enrollment
243process.
244.PP
245The challenge string permits a primitive form of proof of possession
246of private key. By checking the \s-1SPKAC\s0 signature and a random challenge
247string some guarantee is given that the user knows the private key
248corresponding to the public key being certified. This is important in
249some applications. Without this it is possible for a previous \s-1SPKAC\s0
250to be used in a \*(L"replay attack\*(R".
