Kernel Crypto API Message Digest Crypto Helper
Kernel Crypto API interface library version: libkcapi 1.5.1
Reported numeric version number 1050100
Usage:
-c --cipher <NAME> Cipher name to use for crypto operation
-i --infile <FILE> File with input data
-o --outfile <FILE> File with output data
-s --salt <SALT> Salt for PBKDF2
-p --passwd <PWD> Password the session key is derived from using
PBKDF2
--passwdfd <FD> Password file descriptor providing password
--pbkdfiter <NUM> Number of PBKDF2 iterations
--pbkdfmac <MAC> Mac for PBKDF2 (default: hmac(sha256))
--keyfd <FD> Key file descriptor providing password
--hex Digest is returned in hexadecimal notation
-h --help This help information
--version Print version
-v --verbose Verbose logging, multiple options increase
verbosity
-q --quiet No informational output - quiet operation
Data provided at stdin is hashed
Data output at stdout
Options (15)
| Option | Description | Source |
|---|
-c, --cipher --cipher | The NAME argument specifies the digest cipher to be used. | help + man |
-i, --infile --infile | Use the file referenced with FILE as the input data. | help + man |
-o, --outfile --outfile | Use the file referenced with FILE as the destination for the output of the cryptographic operation. | help + man |
-s --salt | Salt for PBKDF2 | help |
-p, --passwd --passwd | The PASSWORD parameter provides the password from which the keyed message digest key is derived. | help + man |
--passwdfd FD | Instead of providing the password via command line, it can be injected into kcapi-dgst using a file descriptor. | help + man |
--pbkdfiter NUM | Perform NUM iterations of the PBKDF2 operation to derive the keyed message digest key. | help + man |
--pbkdfmac MAC | Use the keyed message digest referenced with MAC for the PBKDF2 operation. | help + man |
--keyfd FD | To provide a keyed message digest key that is directly used for the message digest operation, the file descriptor referenced with FD must be used. | help + man |
--hex | The generated message digest is print out in hexadecimal notation instead of as binary string. | help + man |
-h, --help --help | Display the help text. | help + man |
--version | Display the version number of the kcapi-dgst application. | help + man |
-v, --verbose --verbose | Verbose logging, multiple options increase verbosity | help + man |
-q, --quiet --quiet | No informational output - quiet operation | help + man |
--salt SALT | When performing the PBKDF2 operation to obtain the key for the keyed message digest from the password, the SALT value is used as one input parameter. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
