NAME
       yhsm-import-keys - import YubiKey secrets to YubiHSM

SYNOPSIS
       yhsm-import-keys --key-handles ...  [options]

DESCRIPTION
       Read YubiKey token data from standard input, and store it in files or in the YubiHSM internal database.

       The default mode is to turn each YubiKey secret into an AEAD (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) block that is stored in a file
       on the host computer (one file per YubiKey). This enables validation of virtually unlimited numbers of YubiKey's OTPs.

       If --internal-db is used, the YubiKey secret will be stored inside the YubiHSM, and complete validation (including counter management) will
       be done inside the YubiHSM. The internal database is currently limited to 1024 entrys.

OPTIONS
       -D, --device
	      device file name (default: /dev/ttyACM0)

       -v, --verbose
	      enable verbose operation

       --debug
	      enable debug printout, including all data sent to/from YubiHSM

       --public_id_chars num
	      number of chars to pad public id to (default: 12)

       --key-handles kh
	      key handles to use for decoding OTPs. Examples : "1", "0xabcd"

       --output-dir dir, --aead-dir dir, -O dir
	      base directory for AEADs (default: /var/cache/yubikey-ksm/aeads)

       --internal-db
	      add entrys to YubiHSM internal database, rather than creating AEAD files

INPUT FORMAT
       The format of the input matches the export format of various Yubico tools, notably the PHP based soft KSM <http://code.google.com/p/
       yubikey-ksm/>.

       An example file, with a single entry for id 4711 would be :

	   # ykksm 1
	   123456,ftftftcccc,534543524554,fcacd309a20ce1809c2db257f0e8d6ea,000000000000,,,

       (seqno, public id, private uid, AES key, dunno,,,)

       The #ykksm 1 is a file marker, and has to be on the very first line of input.
