NAME

6       piv-tool - smart card utility for HSPD-12 PIV cards
7

SYNOPSIS

9       piv-tool [OPTIONS]
10
11
12       The piv-tool utility can be used from the command line to perform
13       miscellaneous smart card operations on a HSPD-12 PIV smart card as
14       defined in NIST 800-73-3. It is intended for use with test cards only.
15       It can be used to load objects, and generate key pairs, as well as send
16       arbitrary APDU commands to a card after having authenticated to the
17       card using the card key provided by the card vendor.

OPTIONS

20       --serial
21           Print the card serial number derived from the CHUID object, if any.
22           Output is in hex byte format.
23
24       --name, -n
25           Print the name of the inserted card (driver)
26
27       --admin argument, -A argument
28           Authenticate to the card using a 2DES or 3DES key. The argument of
29           the form
30
31                {A|M}:ref:alg
32
33           is required, were A uses "EXTERNAL AUTHENTICATION" and M uses
34           "MUTUAL AUTHENTICATION".  ref is normally 9B, and alg is 03 for
35           3DES. The key is provided by the card vendor, and the environment
36           variable PIV_EXT_AUTH_KEY must point to a text file containing the
37           key in the format:
38           XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
39
40       --genkey argument, -G argument
41           Generate a key pair on the card and output the public key. The
42           argument of the form
43
44               ref:alg
45
46           is required, where ref is 9A, 9C, 9D or 9E and alg is 06, 07, 11 or
47           14 for RSA 1024, RSA 2048, ECC 256 or ECC 384 respectively.
48
49       --object ContainerID, -O ContainerID
50           Load an object onto the card. The ContainerID is as defined in NIST
51           800-73-n without leading 0x. Example: CHUID object is 3000
52
53       --cert ref, -C ref
54           Load a certificate onto the card.  ref is 9A, 9C, 9D or 9E
55
56       --compresscert ref, -Z ref
57           Load a certificate that has been gzipped onto the card.  ref is 9A,
58           9C, 9D or 9E
59
60       --out file, -o file
61           Output file for any operation that produces output.
62
63       --in file, -i file
64           Input file for any operation that requires an input file.
65
66       --key-slots-discovery file
67           Print properties of the key slots. Needs 'admin' authentication.
68
69       --send-apdu apdu, -s apdu
70           Sends an arbitrary APDU to the card in the format
71           AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF.... This option may be repeated.
72
73       --reader num, -r num
74           Specify the reader to use. By default, the first reader with a
75           present card is used. If num is an ATR, the reader with a matching
76           card will be chosen.
77
78       --card-driver driver, -c driver
79           Use the given card driver. The default is auto-detected.
80
81       --wait, -w
82           Wait for a card to be inserted
83
84       --verbose, -v
85           Causes piv-tool to be more verbose. Specify this flag several times
86           to enable debug output in the opensc library.
