NAME
xmlsec1 - sign, verify, encrypt and decrypt XML documents
SYNOPSIS
xmlsec <command> [<options>] [<files>]
DESCRIPTION
xmlsec is a command line tool for signing, verifying, encrypting and decrypting XML documents. The
allowed <command> values are:
--help display this help information and exit
--help-all
display help information for all commands/options and exit
--help-<cmd>
display help information for command <cmd> and exit
--version
print version information and exit
--keys keys XML file manipulation
--sign sign data and output XML document
--verify
verify signed document
--sign-tmpl
create and sign dynamicaly generated signature template
--encrypt
encrypt data and output XML document
--decrypt
decrypt data from XML document
OPTIONS
--ignore-manifests
do not process <dsig:Manifest> elements
--store-references
store and print the result of <dsig:Reference/> element processing just before calculating digest
--store-signatures
store and print the result of <dsig:Signature> processing just before calculating signature
--enabled-reference-uris <list>
comma separated list of of the following values: "empty", "same-doc", "local","remote" to restrict
possible URI attribute values for the <dsig:Reference> element
--enable-visa3d-hack
enables Visa3D protocol specific hack for URI attributes processing when we are trying not to use
XPath/XPointer engine; this is a hack and I don't know what else might be broken in your
application when you use it (also check "--id-attr" option because you might need it)
--hmac-min-out-len <bits>
sets minimum HMAC output length to <bits>
--binary-data <file>
binary <file> to encrypt
--xml-data <file>
XML <file> to encrypt
--enabled-cipher-reference-uris <list>
comma separated list of of the following values: "empty", "same-doc", "local","remote" to restrict
possible URI attribute values for the <enc:CipherReference> element
--session-key <keyKlass>-<keySize>
generate new session <keyKlass> key of <keySize> bits size (for example, "--session des-192"
generates a new 192 bits DES key for DES3 encryption)
--output <filename>
write result document to file <filename>; the <filename> can be a template and include
'{inputfile}' which will be repaced with the input filename
--print-debug
print debug information to stdout
--print-xml-debug
print debug information to stdout in xml format
--dtd-file <file>
load the specified file as the DTD
--node-id <id>
set the operation start point to the node with given <id>
--node-name [<namespace-uri>:]<name>
set the operation start point to the first node with given <name> and <namespace> URI
--node-xpath <expr>
set the operation start point to the first node selected by the specified XPath expression
--id-attr[:<attr-name>] [<node-namespace-uri>:]<node-name>
adds attributes <attr-name> (default value "id") from all nodes with<node-name> and namespace
<node-namespace-uri> to the list of known ID attributes; this is a hack and if you can use DTD or
schema to declare ID attributes instead (see "--dtd-file" option), I don't know what else might be
broken in your application when you use this hack
--enabled-key-data <list>
comma separated list of enabled key data (list of registered key data klasses is available with
"--list-key-data" command); by default, all registered key data are enabled
--enabled-retrieval-method-uris <list>
comma separated list of of the following values: "empty", "same-doc", "local","remote" to restrict
possible URI attribute values for the <dsig:RetrievalMethod> element.
--enabled-key-info-reference-uris <list>
comma separated list of of the following values: "empty", "same-doc", "local","remote" to restrict
possible URI attribute values for the <dsig11:KeyInfoReference> element.
--gen-key[:<name>] <keyKlass>-<keySize>
generate new <keyKlass> key of <keySize> bits size, set the key name to <name> and add the result
to keys manager (for example, "--gen:mykey rsa-1024" generates a new 1024 bits RSA key and sets
it's name to "mykey")
--keys-file <file>
load keys from XML file
--privkey-pem[:<name>] <file>[,<cafile>[,<cafile>[...]]]
load private key from PEM file and certificates that verify this key
--privkey-der[:<name>] <file>[,<cafile>[,<cafile>[...]]]

--privkey-openssl-engine[:<name>] <openssl-engine>;<openssl-key-id>[,<crtfile>[,<crtfile>[...]]]

params), the key specs (like with -inkey or -key params) and optionally certificates that verify
this key
--pubkey-pem[:<name>] <file>
load public key from PEM file
--pubkey-der[:<name>] <file>
load public key from DER file
--pubkey-openssl-store[:<name>] <uri>

this key
--pwd <password>
the password to use for reading keys and certs
--lax-key-search
enable lax key search (e.g. by key type like "rsa") vs default strict key search mode using only

certificate that will be verified against the certificates in the key store
--aes-key[:<name>] <file>

--X509-skip-strict-checks
skip strict checking of X509 data
--insecure

--crypto <name>
the name of the crypto engine to use from the following list: openssl, mscrypto, nss, gnutls,
