Name

pkcs11-tool - utility for managing and using PKCS #11 security tokens

Synopsis

pkcs11-tool [OPTIONS]

Description

The pkcs11-tool utility is used to manage the data objects on smart cards and similar PKCS #11 security tokens. Users can list and read PINs, keysand certificates stored on the token. User PIN authentication is performed for those operations that require it.

Options

Slots are the logical partitions in the cryptographic device. In case of HSMs, there could be hundreds or more slots are available while in the case of smart cards, there could be only one slot available. Token is a device where application stores the cryptographic objects and also perform cryptographic operations. Slots and Tokens ¶ A slot originally referred to a single card slot on a smartcard device that could accept a token. A token was a smartcard that contained secure, encrypted keys and certificates. You would insert your smartcard (token) into the slot, and use its contents to do cryptographic operations. Nowadays the distinction is more blurry.

--login, -l

Authenticate to the token before performing other operations. This option is not needed if a PIN is provided on the command line.

--pinpin, -ppin

Use the given pin for token operations. WARNING: Be careful using this option as other users may be able to read the command line from the system orif it is embedded in a script.

This option will also set the --login option.

--so-pinpin

Use the given pin as the Security Officer PIN for some token operations (token initialization, user PIN initialization, etc). The same warning as--pin also applies here.

--init-token

Initializes a token: set the token label as well as a Security Officer PIN (the label must be specified using --label).

--init-pin

Initializes the user PIN. This option differs from --change-pin in that it sets the user PIN for the first time. Once set, the user PIN can be changed using--change-pin.

--change-pin, -c

Change the user PIN on the token

--test, -t

Performs some tests on the token. This option is most useful when used with either --login or --pin.

--show-info, -I

Displays general token information.

--list-slots, -L

Displays a list of available slots on the token.

--list-mechanisms, -M

Displays a list of mechanisms supported by the token.

--list-objects, -O

Displays a list of objects.

--sign, s

Sign some data.

--hash, -h

Hash some data.

--mechanismmechanism, -mmechanism

Use the specified mechanism for token operations. See -M for a list of mechanisms supported by your token.

--keypairgen, -k

Generate a new key pair (public and private pair.)

--write-objectid, -wpath

Write a key or certificate object to the token. path points to the DER-encoded certificate or key file.

--typetype, -ytype

Specify the type of object to operate on. Examples are cert, privkey and pubkey.

--idid, -did

Specify the id of the object to operate on.

--labelname, -aname

Specify the name of the object to operate on (or the token label when --init-token is used).

--slotid

Specify the id of the slot to use.

--slot-descriptiondescription

Specify the description of the slot to use.

--slot-indexindex

Specify the index of the slot to use.

--token-labellabel

Specify the label of token. Will be used the first slot, that has the inserted token with this label.

--set-idid, -eid

Set the CKA_ID of the object.

--attr-frompath

Extract information from path (DER-encoded certificate file) and create the corresponding attributes when writing an object to the token. Example:the certificate subject name is used to create the CKA_SUBJECT attribute.

--input-filepath, -ipath

Specify the path to a file for input.

--output-filepath, -opath

Specify the path to a file for output.

--modulemod

Specify a PKCS#11 module (or library) to load.

--moz-certpath, -zpath

Tests a Mozilla-like keypair generation and certificate request. Specify the path to the certificate file.

--verbose, -v

Causes pkcs11-tool to be more verbose.

NB! This does not affect OpenSC debugging level! To set OpenSC PKCS#11 module into debug mode, set the OPENSC_DEBUG environment variable to a non-zeronumber.
