=head1 DESCRIPTION
This command output the message digest of a supplied file or files
in hexadecimal, and also generates and verifies digital
signatures using message digests.
The generic name, B<openssl dgst>, may be used with an option specifying the
algorithm to be used.
The default digest is B<sha256>.
A supported I<digest> name may also be used as the sub-command name.
To see the list of supported algorithms, use C<openssl list -digest-commands>
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-help>
Print out a usage message.
=item B<-I<digest>>
Specifies name of a supported digest to be used. To see the list of
supported digests, use the command C<list --digest-commands>.
=item B<-c>
Print out the digest in two digit groups separated by colons, only relevant if
the B<-hex> option is given as well.
=item B<-d>, B<-debug>
Print out BIO debugging information.
=item B<-list>
Prints out a list of supported message digests.
=item B<-hex>
Digest is to be output as a hex dump. This is the default case for a "normal"
digest as opposed to a digital signature. See NOTES below for digital
signatures using B<-hex>.
=item B<-binary>
Output the digest or signature in binary form.
=item B<-r>
=for openssl foreign manual sha1sum(1)
Output the digest in the "coreutils" format, including newlines.
Used by programs like L<sha1sum(1)>.
=item B<-out> I<filename>
Filename to output to, or standard output by default.
=item B<-sign> I<filename>
Digitally sign the digest using the private key in "filename". Note this option
does not support Ed25519 or Ed448 private keys. Use the L<openssl-pkeyutl(1)>
command instead for this.
=item B<-keyform> B<DER>|B<PEM>|B<P12>|B<ENGINE>
The format of the key to sign with; the default is B<PEM>.
The only value with effect is B<ENGINE>; all others have become obsolete.
See L<openssl(1)/Format Options> for details.
=item B<-sigopt> I<nm>:I<v>
Pass options to the signature algorithm during sign or verify operations.
Names and values of these options are algorithm-specific.
=item B<-passin> I<arg>
The private key password source. For more information about the format of I<arg>
see L<openssl(1)/Pass Phrase Options>.
=item B<-verify> I<filename>
Verify the signature using the public key in "filename".
The output is either "Verification OK" or "Verification Failure".
=item B<-prverify> I<filename>
Verify the signature using the private key in "filename".
=item B<-signature> I<filename>
The actual signature to verify.
=item B<-hmac> I<key>
Create a hashed MAC using "key".
The L<openssl-mac(1)> command should be preferred to using this command line
option.
=item B<-mac> I<alg>
Create MAC (keyed Message Authentication Code). The most popular MAC
algorithm is HMAC (hash-based MAC), but there are other MAC algorithms
which are not based on hash, for instance B<gost-mac> algorithm,
supported by the B<gost> engine. MAC keys and other options should be set
via B<-macopt> parameter.
The L<openssl-mac(1)> command should be preferred to using this command line
option.
=item B<-macopt> I<nm>:I<v>
Passes options to MAC algorithm, specified by B<-mac> key.
Following options are supported by both by B<HMAC> and B<gost-mac>:
=over 4
=item B<key>:I<string>
Specifies MAC key as alphanumeric string (use if key contain printable
characters only). String length must conform to any restrictions of
the MAC algorithm for example exactly 32 chars for gost-mac.
=item B<hexkey>:I<string>
Specifies MAC key in hexadecimal form (two hex digits per byte).
Key length must conform to any restrictions of the MAC algorithm
for example exactly 32 chars for gost-mac.
=back
The L<openssl-mac(1)> command should be preferred to using this command line
option.
=item B<-fips-fingerprint>
Compute HMAC using a specific key for certain OpenSSL-FIPS operations.
{- $OpenSSL::safe::opt_r_item -}
{- $OpenSSL::safe::opt_engine_item -}
The engine is not used for digests unless the B<-engine_impl> option is
used or it is configured to do so, see L<config(5)/Engine Configuration Module>.
=item B<-engine_impl> I<id>
When used with the B<-engine> option, it specifies to also use
engine I<id> for digest operations.
{- $OpenSSL::safe::opt_provider_item -}
=item I<file> ...
File or files to digest. If no files are specified then standard input is
used.
=back
=head1 EXAMPLES
To create a hex-encoded message digest of a file:
openssl dgst -md5 -hex file.txt
To sign a file using SHA-256 with binary file output:
openssl dgst -sha256 -sign privatekey.pem -out signature.sign file.txt
To verify a signature:
openssl dgst -sha256 -verify publickey.pem \
-signature signature.sign \
file.txt
=head1 NOTES
The digest mechanisms that are available will depend on the options
used when building OpenSSL.
The C<openssl list -digest-commands> command can be used to list them.
New or agile applications should use probably use SHA-256. Other digests,
particularly SHA-1 and MD5, are still widely used for interoperating
with existing formats and protocols.
When signing a file, this command will automatically determine the algorithm
(RSA, ECC, etc) to use for signing based on the private key's ASN.1 info.
When verifying signatures, it only handles the RSA, DSA, or ECDSA signature
itself, not the related data to identify the signer and algorithm used in
formats such as x.509, CMS, and S/MIME.
A source of random numbers is required for certain signing algorithms, in
particular ECDSA and DSA.
The signing and verify options should only be used if a single file is
being signed or verified.
Hex signatures cannot be verified using B<openssl>. Instead, use "xxd -r"
or similar program to transform the hex signature into a binary signature
prior to verification.
The L<openssl-mac(1)> command is preferred over the B<-hmac>, B<-mac> and
B<-macopt> command line options.

L<openssl-mac(1)>
=head1 HISTORY
The default digest was changed from MD5 to SHA256 in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
The FIPS-related options were removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
All B<-keyform> values except B<ENGINE> have become obsolete in OpenSSL 3.0.0
and have no effect.
