NAME

cryptoflex-tool - utility for manipulating Schlumberger Cryptoflex data structures

SYNOPSIS

cryptoflex-tool [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

cryptoflex-tool

is used to manipulate PKCS data structures on Schlumberger Cryptoflex smart cards. Users can create, list and read PINs and keys stored on the smart card. User PIN authentication is performed for those operations that require it.

OPTIONS

--app-df num, -a num

: Specifies the DF to operate in

--create-key-files arg, -c arg

: Creates new RSA key files for arg keys

--create-pin-files id, -P id

: Creates new PIN file for CHVid

--exponent exp, -e exp

: Specifies the RSA exponent, exp, to use in key generation. The default value is 3.

--generate-key, -g

: Generate a new RSA key pair

--key-num num, -k num

: Specifies the key number to operate on. The default is key number 1.

--list-keys, -l

: Lists all keys stored in a public key file

--modulus-length length, -m length

: Specifies the modulus length to use in key generation. The default value is 1024.

--prkey-file id, -p id

: Specifies the private key file id, id, to use

--pubkey-file id, -u id

: Specifies the public key file id, id, to use

--read-key, -R

: Reads a public key from the card, allowing the user to extract and store or use the public key

--reader arg, -r arg

: Number of the reader to use. By default, the first reader with a present card is used. If arg is an ATR, the reader with a matching card will be chosen.

--verbose, -v

: Causes cryptoflex-tool to be more verbose. Specify this flag several times to enable debug output in the opensc library.

--verify-pin, -V

: Verifies CHV1 before issuing commands

--wait, -w

: Causes cryptoflex-tool to wait for a card insertion.
