Description
The westcos-tool utility is used to manipulate
the westcos data structures on 2 Ko smart cards. Users can create PINs,
keys and certificates stored on the token. User PIN authentication is
performed for those operations that require it.
OptionsGenerate a private key on smart card. The smart card must be
not finalized and pin installed (ig. file for pin must be created, see option
-i). By default key length is 1536 bits. User authentication is required for
this operation. lengthChange the length of private key, use with .
Install pin file in token, you must provide pin value
with .valueset value of pin.valueset value of puk (or value of new pin for change pin
command see ).Changes a PIN stored on the token. User authentication
is required for this operation.Unblocks a PIN stored on the token. Knowledge of the Pin
Unblock Key (PUK) is required for this operation.fileWrite certificate file in pem format on the
card. User authentication is required for this operation.Finalize the card, once finalize default key is invalidate so pin and puk
can'be changed anymore without user authentification. Warning, smart cards not finalized are
unsecure because pin can be changed without user authentification (knowledge of default key
is enougth).nForces westcos-tool to use reader
number n for operations.pathGet the file path the file is written
on disk with path name. User authentication
is required for this operation.pathPut the file with name path from disk
to card the file is written in path. User authentication
is required for this operation.Causes westcos-tool to be more
verbose. Specify this flag several times to enable debug output
in the OpenSC library.Print help message on screen.See alsoopensc(7)Authorswestcos-tool was written by
