NAME

       pkcs15-tool - utility for manipulating PKCS #15 data structures on smart cards and similar security tokens

SYNOPSIS

       pkcs15-tool [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       The pkcs15-tool utility is used to manipulate the PKCS #15 data structures on smart cards and similar security tokens. Users can list and
       read PINs, keys and certificates stored on the token. User PIN authentication is performed for those operations that require it.

OPTIONS

       --learn-card, -L
	   Cache PKCS #15 token data to the local filesystem. Subsequent operations are performed on the cached data where possible. If the cache
	   becomes out-of-sync with the token state (eg. new key is generated and stored on the token), the cache should be updated or operations
	   may show stale results.

       --list-applications
	   List the on-card PKCS#15 applications

       --read-certificate cert, -r cert
	   Reads the certificate with the given id.

       --list-certificates, -c
	   Lists all certificates stored on the token.

       --read-data-object cert, -R data
	   Reads data object with OID, applicationName or label.

       --verify-pin
	   Verify PIN after card binding and before issuing any command (without 'auth-id' the first non-SO, non-Unblock PIN will be verified)

       --list-data-objects, -C
	   Lists all data objects stored on the token. For some cards the PKCS#15 attributes of the private data objects are protected for reading
	   and need the authentication with the User PIN. In such a case the --verify-pin option has to be used.

       --list-pins
	   Lists all PINs stored on the token. General information about each PIN is listed (eg. PIN name). Actual PIN values are not shown.

       --dump, -D
	   Dump card objects.

       --change-pin
	   Changes a PIN or PUK stored on the token. User authentication is required for this operation.

       --unblock-pin, -u
	   Unblocks a PIN stored on the token. Knowledge of the Pin Unblock Key (PUK) is required for this operation.

       --list-keys, -k
	   Lists all private keys stored on the token. General information about each private key is listed (eg. key name, id and algorithm).
	   Actual private key values are not displayed. For some cards the PKCS#15 attributes of the private keys are protected for reading and
	   need the authentication with the User PIN. In such a case the --verify-pin option has to be used.

       --list-public-keys
	   Lists all public keys stored on the token, including key name, id, algorithm and length information.

       --read-public-key id
	   Reads the public key with id id, allowing the user to extract and store or use the public key.

       --read-ssh-key id
	   Reads the public key with id id, writing the output in format suitable for $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys.

       --output filename, -o filename
	   Specifies where key output should be written. If filename already exists, it will be overwritten. If this option is not given, keys
	   will be printed to standard output.

       --no-cache
	   Disables token data caching.

       --auth-id pin, -a pin
	   Specifies the auth id of the PIN to use for the operation. This is useful with the --change-pin operation.

       --aid aid
	   Specify in a hexadecimal form the AID of the on-card PKCS#15 application to be binded to.

       --reader num
	   Forces pkcs15-tool to use reader number num for operations. The default is to use reader number 0, the first reader in the system.

       --verbose, -v
	   Causes pkcs15-tool to be more verbose. Specify this flag several times to enable debug output in the OpenSC library.
