WESTCOS-TOOL(1) OpenSC Tools WESTCOS-TOOL(1)NAMEwestcos-tool - utility for manipulating data structures on westcos
smart cards
SYNOPSISwestcos-tool [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
The westcos-tool utility is used to manipulate the westcos data
structures on 2 Ko smart cards / tokens. Users can create PINs, keys
and certificates stored on the card / token. User PIN authentication is
performed for those operations that require it.
OPTIONS--change-pin, -n
Changes a PIN stored on the card. User authentication is required
for this operation.
--certificate file, -t file
Write certificate file file in PEM format to the card. User
authentication is required for this operation.
--finalize, -f
Finalize the card. Once finalized the default key is invalidated,
so PIN and PUK cannot be changed anymore without user
authentication.
Warning, un-finalized are insecure because PIN can be changed
without user authentication (knowledge of default key is enough).
--generate-key, -g
Generate a private key on the card. The card must not have been
finalized and a PIN must be installed (ie. the file for ithe PIN
must havei been created, see option -i). By default the key length
is 1536 bits. User authentication is required for this operation.
--help, -h
Print help message on screen.
--install-pin, -i
Install PIN file in on the card. You must provide a PIN value with
-x.
--key-length length, -l length
Change the length of private key. Use with -g.
--overwrite-key, -o
Overwrite the key if there is already a key on the card.
--pin-value value, -x value
Set value of PIN.
--puk-value value, -y value
set value of PUK (or value of new PIN for change PIN command see
-n).
--read-file path, -j path
Read the file path from the card. The file is written on disk with
name path. User authentication is required for this operation.
--reader num, -r num
Use the given reader. The default is the first reader with a card.
--unblock-pin, -u
Unblocks a PIN stored on the card. Knowledge of the PIN Unblock Key
(PUK) is required for this operation.
-v
Causes westcos-tool to be more verbose. Specify this flag several
times to enable debug output in the OpenSC library.
--wait, -w
Wait for a card to be inserted.
--write-file path, -k path
Put the file with name path from disk to card. On the card the file
is written in path. User authentication is required for this
operation.
