Package: opensc
Version: 0.11.4-3
Severity: normal
When adding a new PIN to an axalto/schlumberger eGate device, i get
prompted about "transport key", which isn't mentioned anywherein
pkcs15-init(1) at all. Undocumented, obscure options are bad news,
especially when dealing with devices like smart cards which are easy
to accidentally destroy.
Here's an example:
[0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ pkcs15-init --store-pin --id 02 --label ugga
New User PIN.
Please enter User PIN:
Please type again to verify:
Unblock Code for New User PIN (Optional - press return for no PIN).
Please enter User unblocking PIN (PUK):
Please type again to verify:
Transport key (External authentication key #1) required.
Please enter key in hexadecimal notation (e.g. 00:11:22:aa:bb:cc),
or press return to accept default.
To use the default transport keys without being prompted,
specify the --use-default-transport-keys option on the
command line (or -T for short), or press Ctrl-C to abort.
Please enter key [2c:15:e5:26:e9:3e:8a:19]:
But neither --use-default-transport-keys nor -T show up in
pkcs15-init(1). grepping through the documentation turns up some info
in /usr/share/doc/opensc/SecureSetup.html and
/usr/share/doc/opensc/Pkcs15Init.html, but not enough for a regular
user to figure out what's going on. The OPTIONS section of the man
page should either have exhaustive listing, or it should refer users
to other locally-available documentation.
I'd submit a patch, but:
* i don't really understand what transport keys are myself, and
* the troff source claims to be generated via docbook, and i don't
see the docbook source in the unpacked debian package.
Let me know if i can be of more help,
--dkg
