oct-admin-touch(1)
πΈ oct-admin-touch(1) β General Commands Manual πΈ
okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual entry for oct-admin-touch(1) β the little command that sets your cardβs touch policy, but only if your card is cool enough to support it. π
π NAME π
oct-admin-touch β set the card's touch policy (if supported). Thatβs the whole assignment. β¨
π SYNOPSIS π
oct admin touch <-k|--key> <-p|--policy> [-h|--help]
thatβs the call, no cap. π«Ά
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so oct-admin-touch sets the card's touch policy β if supported, because not every card is invited to this party.
A touch policy is literally the rule for whether cryptographic operations on the card require user interaction with the card. Like, actual physical interaction β for example, touching a button on the card. Very βtouch grass, but make it cryptography.β π±
Only some cards support this feature at all, and even the ones that do do not all support all policies. So yeah: card support varies, policy support varies, itβs giving exclusive guest list. π
β οΈ CAUTION bestie: setting theATTslot toFixedorCached-Fixedis permanent. Even a factory reset does not undo this setting. Like, this is not a βoops undoβ situation β it is permanent permanent. π
π OPTIONS π
-k,--key <Key slot>β the key slot to set the touch policy for. Possible values are:SIGDECAUTATT
-p,--policy <Policy>β the touch policy to set on this key slot. Possible values are:Offβ no touch confirmation required. Zero taps, zero drama.Onβ touch confirmation required for each operation. Every. Single. One. β¨Fixedβ likeOn, but the policy can only be changed by a reset.Cachedβ likeOn, but touch confirmation is valid for15 seconds. A tiny grace period, iykyk.Cached-Fixedβ combinesCachedandFixed. Both vibes at once. π
-h,--helpβ print help (see a summary with-h). Yes, thatβs the note, bestie β Iβm just delivering it exactly. π
bye bestie! this was oct-admin-touch from oct-admin-touch(1) in the General Commands Manual β the footer just repeats the command name and section, and thereβs no date printed on this one, so no fake date claims from me. go touch a button responsibly. πβ¨
