req

rsa 

RSA Data Management

rsautl

s_client 

Implements a generic SSL/TLS client that can establish a transparent connection to a remote server speaking SSL/TLS. This command, however, is intended for testing purposes only and provides only rudimentary interface functionality. Internally, however, it uses most of the functionality of the OpenSSL ssl library.

s_server 

Implements a generic SSL/TLS server that accepts connections from remote clients speaking SSL/TLS. It is intended for testing purposes only and provides only rudimentary interface functionality. Internally, however, it uses most of the functionality of the OpenSSL ssl library. It provides both its own command-line oriented protocol for testing SSL functions and a simple HTTP response facility to emulate an SSL/TLS-aware web server.

s_time 

SSL Connection Timer

sess_id 

SSL Session Data Management

smime 

S/MIME mail processing

speed 

Algorithm Speed Measurement

spkac 

Signed public key and challenge

verify 

X.509 Certificate Verification

version 

OpenSSL Version Information

x509 

X.509 Certificate Data Management
