NAME
       sess_id - SSL/TLS session handling utility

SYNOPSIS
       openssl	sess_id [-inform PEM | DER] [-outform PEM | DER] [-infilename]
       [-outfilename] [-text] [-noout] [-contextID]

OPTIONS
       Specifies the input format. The DER option uses	an  ASN1  DER  encoded
       format containing session details. The precise format can vary from one
       version to the next.  The PEM form is the default format.  It  consists
       of  the	DER  format  base64  encoded with additional header and footer
       lines.  Specifies the output format. The options have the same  meaning
       as  the	-inform	 option.  Specifies the input filename to read session
       information from or standard input by default.	Specifies  the	output
       filename	 to  write  session  information to or standard output if this
       option is not specified.	 Prints out the various public or private  key
       components in plain text in addition to the encoded version.  If a cer‐
       tificate is present in the session it will be output using this option.
       If the -text option is also present then it will be printed out in text
       form.  Prevents output of the encoded version of the session.  Sets the
       session	id so the output session information uses the supplied ID. The
       ID can be any string of characters. This option usually is not used.

DESCRIPTION
       The sess_id processes the encoded version of the SSL session  structure
       and  optionally prints out SSL session details, such as the SSL session
       master key, in human readable format. Since this is a  diagnostic  tool
       that  needs  some  knowledge  of the SSL protocol to use properly, most
       users will not need to use it.

NOTES
       The PEM encoded session format uses the	following  header  and	footer
       lines:
	-----BEGIN SSL SESSION PARAMETERS-----
	-----END SSL SESSION PARAMETERS-----

       Since  the SSL session output contains the master key it is possible to
       read the contents of  an	 encrypted  session  using  this  information.
       Therefore  appropriate  security	 precautions  should  be  taken if the
       information is being output by a real application.  This	 is,  however,
       strongly discouraged and should only be used for debugging purposes.

RESTRICTIONS
       The cipher and start time should be printed out in human readable form.

EXAMPLES
       An example of typical output follows:
	SSL-Session:
	    Protocol  : TLSv1
	    Cipher    : 0016
	    Session-ID:
       871E62626C554CE95488823752CBD5F3673A3EF3DCE9C67BD916C809914B40ED
	    Session-ID-ctx: 01000000
	    Master-Key:
       A7CEFC571974BE02CAC305269DC59F76EA9F0B180CB6642697A68251F2D2BB57E51DBBB4C7885573192AE9AEE220FACD
	    Key-Arg   : None
	    Start Time: 948459261
	    Timeout   : 300 (sec)
	    Verify return code 0 (ok)

       These are described below in more detail.  The protocol in use - TLSv1,
       SSLv3  or  SSLv2.   The	cipher used. This is the actual raw SSL or TLS
       cipher code. See the SSL or TLS specifications  for  more  information.
       The  SSL	 session ID in hex format.  The session ID context in hex for‐
       mat.  The SSL session master key.  The key argument. This is only  used
       in  SSL v2.  The session start time, represented as an integer in stan‐
       dard UNIX format.  The timeout in seconds.  The return code when an SSL
       client certificate is verified.
