8 tpmtoken_import - import an X.509 certficate and/or an RSA key pair
9 into the user's TPM PKCS#11 data store
10
12 tpmtoken_import [ OPTION ] FILE
13
14
16 tpmtoken_import imports a PEM formatted representation of an X.509
17 certificate and/or an RSA key contained in FILE.
18
19 Importing an X.509 certificate creates an X.509 Public Key Certificate
20 PKCS#11 object and also an RSA Public Key PKCS#11 object using the RSA
21 public key contained in the certificate. The certificate's key must be
22 an RSA key in order for the certificate to be successfully processed by
23 this command.
24
25 Importing an RSA key creates an RSA Public Key and an RSA Private Key
26 PKCS#11 object. In order to associate the RSA PKCS#11 objects with an
27 X.509 Public Key Certificate PKCS#11 object, the RSA PKCS#11 objects
28 must have a subject name and key identifier associated with them. This
29 can be accomplished by supplying the corresponding X.509 certificate as
30 an optional command parameter.
31
32 The input can contain PEM formatted representations of both an X.509
33 certificate and an RSA key. If both representations are present then an
34 X.509 Public Key Certificate PKCS#11 object, an RSA Public Key PKCS#11
35 object and an RSA Private Key PKCS#11 object are created.
