piv-tool 1 opensc piv-tool smart card utility for HSPD-12 PIV cards piv-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. Options Print 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, argument Authenticate to the card using a 2DES or 3DES key. An argument {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, argument Generate 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, ContainerID Load an object on to the card. The ContainerID is defined in NIST 800-73-n without leading 0x. Example: CHUID object is 3000 ref, ref Load a certificate on to the card. ref is 9A, 9C, 9D or 9E ref, ref Load a certificate that has been gziped on to the card. ref is 9A, 9C, 9D or 9E file, file Output file for any operation that produces output. file, file Input file for any operation that requires an input file. file Print properties of the key slots. Needs 'admin' authentication. apdu, apdu Sends an arbitrary APDU to the card in the format AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF... This option may be repeated. num Use the given reader number. The default is 0, the first reader in the system. driver, driver Use the given card driver. The default is auto-detected. Wait for a card to be inserted Causes piv-tool to be more verbose. Specify this flag several times to enable debug output in the opensc library. See also opensc-tool 1
