PKCS15-PROFILE(5) OpenSC tools PKCS15-PROFILE(5)NAME
pkcs15-profile - format of profile for pkcs15-init
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
The pkcs15-init utility for PKCS #15 smart card personalization is controlled via profiles. When starting, it will read two such profiles
at the moment, a generic application profile, and a card specific profile. The generic profile must be specified on the command line, while
the card-specific file is selected based on the type of card detected.
The generic application profile defines general information about the card layout, such as the path of the application DF, various PKCS #15
files within that directory, and the access conditions on these files. It also defines general information about PIN, key and certificate
objects. Currently, there is only one such generic profile, pkcs15.profile.
The card specific profile contains additional information required during card intialization, such as location of PIN files, key references
etc. Profiles currently reside in @pkgdatadir@
SYNTAX
This section should contain information about the profile syntax. Will add this soonishly.

pkcs15-crypt - perform crypto operations using pkcs15 smart card
SYNOPSIS
pkcs15-crypt [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
The pkcs15-crypt utility can be used from the command line to perform cryptographic operations such as computing digital signatures or
decrypting data, using keys stored on a PKCS #15 compliant smart card.
OPTIONS --sign, -s
Perform digital signature operation on the data read from a file specified using the input option. By default, the contents of the file
are assumed to be the result of an MD5 hash operation. Note that pkcs15-crypt expects the data in binary representation, not ASCII.
The digital signature is stored, in binary representation, in the file specified by the output option. If this option is not given, the
signature is printed on standard output, displaying non-printable characters using their hex notation xNN (see also --raw).
--pkcs1
By default, pkcs15-crypt assumes that input data has been padded to the correct length (i.e. when computing an RSA signature using a
1024 bit key, the input must be padded to 128 bytes to match the modulus length). When giving the --pkcs1 option, however, pkcs15-crypt
will perform the required padding using the algorithm outlined in the PKCS #1 standard version 1.5.
--sha-1
This option tells pkcs15-crypt that the input file is the result of an SHA1 hash operation, rather than an MD5 hash. Again, the data
must be in binary representation.
--decipher, -c
Decrypt the contents of the file specified by the --input option. The result of the decryption operation is written to the file
specified by the --output option. If this option is not given, the decrypted data is printed to standard output, displaying
non-printable characters using their hex notation xNN (see also --raw).
--key id, -k id
Selects the ID of the key to use.
--reader N, -r N
Selects the N-th smart card reader configured by the system. If unspecified, pkcs15-crypt will use the first reader found.
--input file, -i file
Specifies the input file to use.
--output file, -o file
Any output will be sent to the specified file.
--raw, -R
Outputs raw 8 bit data.
--pin pin, -p pin
When the cryptographic operation requires a PIN to access the key, pkcs15-crypt will prompt the user for the PIN on the terminal. Using
this option allows you to specify the PIN on the command line.
Note that on most operating systems, the command line of a process can be displayed by any user using the ps(1) command. It is
therefore a security risk to specify secret information such as PINs on the command line. If you specify '-' as PIN, it will be read
from STDIN.
--aid aid
Specify in a hexadecimal form the AID of the on-card PKCS#15 application to be binded to.
--verbose, -v
Causes pkcs15-crypt to be more verbose. Specify this flag several times to enable debug output in the OpenSC library.
