💖 PKCS11-DUMP(1) — the pkcs11-dump girlies' guide 💖

okay bestie, sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, because we're about to dump some PKCS#11 tokens and honestly? it's giving main character energy.

✨ NAME ✨

pkcs11-dump — dump PKCS#11 token content 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pkcs11-dump info /path/to/pkcs11.so

pkcs11-dump dump /path/to/pkcs11.so slotnum userpin|-

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, pkcs11-dump is this little program that goes and asks your PKCS#11 provider modules what objects are chillin' on a specific crypto device. and then — and this is the part we're obsessed with — it dumps those objects to stdout in a human-readable format. no cap, readable by actual humans. 👑

she knows about PKCS#11 object types and attributes as specified in PKCS#11 versions up to and including v2.20. periodt.

these object types are supported, and yes we're listing every single one because each one is iconic in her own way:

• CKO_DATA
• CKO_CERTIFICATE
• CKO_PUBLIC_KEY
• CKO_PRIVATE_KEY
• CKO_SECRET_KEY
• CKO_HW_FEATURE
• CKO_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS
• CKO_MECHANISM
• CKO_VENDOR_DEFINED
