cryptoflex-tool [OPTIONS]

cryptoflex-tool is used to manipulate PKCS data structures on Schlumberger Cryptoflex smart cards. Users can create, list and read PINs and keys stored on the smart card. User PIN authentication is performed for those operations that require it.

--verify-pin, -V

Verifies CHV1 before issuing commands

--list-keys, -l

Lists all keys stored in a public key file

--create-key-files arg, -c arg

Creates new RSA key files for arg keys

--create-pin-files id, -P id

Creates new PIN file for CHVid

--generate-key, -g

Generate a new RSA key pair

--read-key

Reads a public key from the card, allowing the user to extract and store or use the public key

--key-num num, -k num

Specifies the key number to operate on. The default is key number 1.

--app-df num, -a num

Specifies the DF to operate in

--prkey-file id, -p id

Specifies the private key file id, id, to use

--pubkey-file id, -u id

Specifies the public key file id, id, to use

--exponent exp, -e exp

Specifies the RSA exponent, exp, to use in key generation. The default value is 3.

--modulus-length length, -m length

Specifies the modulus length to use in key generation. The default value is 1024.

--reader num, -r num

Forces cryptoflex-tool to use reader number num for operations. The default is to use reader number 0, the first reader in the system.

--verbose, -v

Causes cryptoflex-tool to be more verbose. Specify this flag several times to enable debug output in the opensc library.
