NAME

westcos-tool - utility for manipulating data structures on westcos smart cards

SYNOPSIS

westcos-tool [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

The westcos-tool utility is used to manipulate the westcos data structures on 2 Ko smart cards / tokens. Users can create PINs, keys and certificates stored on the card / token. User PIN authentication is performed for those operations that require it.

OPTIONS

--change-pin, -n Changes a PIN stored on the card. User authentication is required for this operation. --certificate file, -t file Write certificate file file in PEM format to the card. User authentication is required for this operation. --finalize, -f Finalize the card. Once finalized the default key is invalidated, so PIN and PUK cannot be changed anymore without user authentication. Warning, un-finalized are insecure because PIN can be changed without user authentication (knowledge of default key is enough). --generate-key, -g Generate a private key on the card. The card must not have been finalized and a PIN must be installed (ie. the file for ithe PIN must havei been created, see option -i). By default the key length is 1536 bits. User authentication is required for this operation. --help, -h Print help message on screen. --install-pin, -i Install PIN file in on the card. You must provide a PIN value with -x. --key-length length, -l length Change the length of private key. Use with -g. --overwrite-key, -o Overwrite the key if there is already a key on the card. --pin-value value, -x value Set value of PIN. If set to env:VARIABLE, the value of the environment variable VARIABLE is used. --puk-value value, -y value set value of PUK (or value of new PIN for change PIN command see -n). If set to env:VARIABLE, the value of the environment variable VARIABLE is used. --read-file path, -j path Read the file path from the card. The file is written on disk with name path. User authentication is required for this operation. --reader num, -r num Use the given reader. The default is the first reader with a card. --unblock-pin, -u Unblocks a PIN stored on the card. Knowledge of the PIN Unblock Key (PUK) is required for this operation. -v Causes westcos-tool to be more verbose. Specify this flag several times to enable debug output in the OpenSC library. --wait, -w Wait for a card to be inserted. --write-file path, -k path Put the file with name path from disk to card. On the card the file is written in path. User authentication is required for this operation.
