9 xmlsec <command> [<options>] [<files>]
10
12 xmlsec is a command line tool for signing, verifying, encrypting and
13 decrypting XML documents. The allowed <command> values are:
14 --help display this help information and exit
16 --help-all
18 display help information for all commands/options and exit
19 --help-<cmd>
21 display help information for command <cmd> and exit
22 --version
24 print version information and exit
25 --keys keys XML file manipulation
27 --sign sign data and output XML document
29 --verify
31 verify signed document
32 --sign-tmpl
34 create and sign dynamicaly generated signature template
35 --encrypt
37 encrypt data and output XML document
38 --decrypt
40 decrypt data from XML document
41
43 --ignore-manifests
44 do not process <dsig:Manifest> elements
46 --store-references
48 store and print the result of <dsig:Reference/> element process‐
50 ing just before calculating digest
51 --store-signatures
53 store and print the result of <dsig:Signature> processing just
55 before calculating signature
56 --enabled-reference-uris <list>
58 comma separated list of of the following values: "empty",
60 "same-doc", "local","remote" to restrict possible URI attribute
61 values for the <dsig:Reference> element
62 --enable-visa3d-hack
64 enables Visa3D protocol specific hack for URI attributes pro‐
66 cessing when we are trying not to use XPath/XPointer engine;
67 this is a hack and I don't know what else might be broken in
68 your application when you use it (also check "--id-attr" option
69 because you might need it)
70 --binary-data <file>
72 binary <file> to encrypt
74 --xml-data <file>
76 XML <file> to encrypt
78 --enabled-cipher-reference-uris <list>
80 comma separated list of of the following values: "empty",
82 "same-doc", "local","remote" to restrict possible URI attribute
83 values for the <enc:CipherReference> element
84 --session-key <keyKlass>-<keySize>
86 generate new session <keyKlass> key of <keySize> bits size (for
88 example, "--session des-192" generates a new 192 bits DES key
89 for DES3 encryption)
90 --output <filename>
92 write result document to file <filename>
94 --print-debug
96 print debug information to stdout
98 --print-xml-debug
100 print debug information to stdout in xml format
102 --dtd-file <file>
104 load the specified file as the DTD
106 --node-id <id>
108 set the operation start point to the node with given <id>
110 --node-name [<namespace-uri>:]<name>
112 set the operation start point to the first node with given
114 <name> and <namespace> URI
115 --node-xpath <expr>
117 set the operation start point to the first node selected by the
119 specified XPath expression
120 --id-attr[:<attr-name>] [<node-namespace-uri>:]<node-name>
122 adds attributes <attr-name> (default value "id") from all nodes
124 with<node-name> and namespace <node-namespace-uri> to the list
125 of known ID attributes; this is a hack and if you can use DTD or
126 schema to declare ID attributes instead (see "--dtd-file"
127 option), I don't know what else might be broken in your applica‐
128 tion when you use this hack
129 --enabled-key-data <list>
131 comma separated list of enabled key data (list of registered key
133 data klasses is available with "--list-key-data" command); by
134 default, all registered key data are enabled
135 --enabled-retrieval-uris <list>
137 comma separated list of of the following values: "empty",
139 "same-doc", "local","remote" to restrict possible URI attribute
140 values for the <dsig:RetrievalMethod> element.
141 --gen-key[:<name>] <keyKlass>-<keySize>
143 generate new <keyKlass> key of <keySize> bits size, set the key
145 name to <name> and add the result to keys manager (for example,
146 "--gen:mykey rsa-1024" generates a new 1024 bits RSA key and
147 sets it's name to "mykey")
