piv-tool1openscpiv-toolsmart card utility for HSPD-12 PIV cardsSynopsispiv-tool [OPTIONS]
The piv-tool utility can be used from the command line to perform
miscellaneous smart card operations on a HSPD-12 PIV smart card as defined in NIST 800-73-3.
It is intened for use with test cards only. It can be used to load objects, and generate
key pairs, as well as send arbitrary APDU commands to a card after having authenticated
to the card using the card key provided by the card vendor.
OptionsPrint the derived card serial number from the CHUID object if any.
output is in hex byte format.Print the name of the inserted card (driver) argument, arguementAuthenticate to the card using a 2DES or 3DES key.
An arguement {A|M}:{ref}:{alg} is required, were A uses "EXTERNAL AUTHENTICATION"
and M uses "MUTUAL AUTHENTICATION". ref is normally 9B, and alg is 03 for
3DES. The key is provided by card vendor, and the environment variable
PIV_EXT_AUTH_KEY must point to a text file with the key in the format:
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
argument, argumentGenerate a key pair on the card and output the public key.
An argument {ref}:{alg} is required, where ref is 9A, 9C, 9D or 9E and alg is
06, 07, 11 or 14 for RSA 1024, RSA 2048, ECC 256 or ECC 384.
ContainerID, ContainerIDLoad an object on to the card. The ContainerID is defined
in NIST 800-73-n without leading 0x. Example: CHUID object is 3000
ref, refLoad a certificate on to the card. ref is 9A, 9C, 9D or 9E ref, refLoad a certificate that has been gziped on to the card.
ref is 9A, 9C, 9D or 9E file, fileOutput file for any operation that produces output.
file, fileInput file for any operation that requires an input file.
filePrint properties of the key slots. Needs 'admin' authentication.
apdu, apduSends an arbitrary APDU to the card in the format AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF...
This option may be repeated. numUse the given reader number. The default is 0,
the first reader in the system. driver, driverUse the given card driver. The default is auto-detected.Wait for a card to be insertedCauses piv-tool to be more verbose.
Specify this flag several times to enable debug output in the opensc library.See alsoopensc-tool(1)
