A typical value value would be <b>hmacWithSHA256</b>. If this option isn't set then the default for the cipher is used or <b>hmacWithSHA256</b> if there is no default.</p> <p>Some implementations may not support custom PRF algorithms and may require the <b>hmacWithSHA1</b> option to work.</p> </dd> <dt id="v1-alg"><b>-v1 alg</b></dt> <dd> <p>This option indicates a PKCS#5 v1.5 or PKCS#12 algorithm should be used.

These are detailed below.</p> <p>If a key is being converted from PKCS#8 form (i.e. the <b>-topk8</b> option is not used) then the input file must be in PKCS#8 format. An encrypted key is expected unless <b>-nocrypt</b> is included.</p> <p>If <b>-topk8</b> is not used and <b>PEM</b> mode is set the output file will be an unencrypted private key in PKCS#8 format. If the <b>-traditional</b> option is used then a traditional format private key is written instead.</p> <p>If <b>-topk8</b> is not used and <b>DER</b> mode is set the output file will be an unencrypted private key in traditional DER format.</p> <p>If <b>-topk8</b> is used then any supported private key can be used for the input file in a format specified by <b>-inform</b>. The output file will be encrypted PKCS#8 format using the specified encryption parameters unless <b>-nocrypt</b> is included.</p> <h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1> <p>By default, when converting a key to PKCS#8 format, PKCS#5 v2.0 using 256 bit AES with HMAC and SHA256 is used.</p> <p>Some older implementations do not support PKCS#5 v2.0 format and require the older PKCS#5 v1.5 form instead, possibly also requiring insecure weak encryption algorithms such as 56 bit DES.</p> <p>The encrypted form of a PEM encode PKCS#8 files uses the following headers and footers:</p> <pre><code> -----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY----- -----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----</code></pre> <p>The unencrypted form uses:</p> <pre><code> -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- -----END PRIVATE KEY-----</code></pre> <p>Private keys encrypted using PKCS#5 v2.0 algorithms and high iteration counts are more secure that those encrypted using the traditional SSLeay compatible formats. So if additional security is considered important the keys should be converted.</p> <p>It is possible to write out DER encoded encrypted private keys in PKCS#8 format because the encryption details are included at an ASN1 level whereas the traditional format includes them at a PEM level.</p> <h1 id="PKCS-5-v1.5-and-PKCS-12-algorithms">PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 algorithms.</h1> <p>Various algorithms can be used with the <b>-v1</b> command line option, including PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12.
