OpenSC command line tools and utilities

The following executables are included with OpenSC:

• Generic
  • opensc-explorer
  • opensc-tool
• PKCS#15 layer
  • pkcs15-tool
  • pkcs15-crypt
  • pkcs15-init
• Card driver utility
  • cryptoflex-tool
  • netkey-tool
    • does not use util.c to connect to card
    • manpage needs updates
  • piv-tool
    • duplicates functionality from pkcs15-init (-G, but is it special case?) and opensc-tool (--send-apdu)
    • has no manpage
  • westcos-tool
    • duplicates functionality from pkcs15-init (-G/-i/-cert) and pkcs15-tool (-n/-u)
    • has no long options
  • rutoken-tool
    • GOST specific re-implementations of similar functionality from pkcs15-init(--genkey) and pkcs15-crypt (--encrypt, --decrypt). Understandable, but it would not hurt to have a tool that could work with GOST and whatever there might be in the future (Korean?)
    • has no manpage
  • cardos-tool
    • all are uniq operations: --info --format --startkey --change-startkey
    • has outdated manpage
• PKCS#11 utility
  • pkcs11-tool
    • can be extracted from OpenSC
    • manpage needs updates
• Misc utilities
  • eidenv
    • has no manpage

Tasks

• Functionality doable via common interfaces ("libopensc abstraction" which currently means PKCS#15) must not be replicated
• Uniform look and feel for commands, utility functions that are supposed to be used, must be used.
  • PIN entry via command line/stdin/env/pinpad and cancellation must behave the same way with all tools
