HP SSL for OpenVMS provides a command line interface that allows you to use the cryptography functions of SSL's cryptography library from the OpenSSL command prompt (OPENSSL>). You can use the command-line interface for the following tasks:
Creating RSA, DH and DSA key parameters
Creating X.509 certificates, CSRs, and CRLs
Calculating message digests
Encrypting and decrypting with ciphers
Testing on SSL/TLS clients and servers
Handling of S/MIME signed or encrypted mail
See Chapter 6, OpenSSL Command Line Interface, for more information about the OpenSSL commands.
