TPM Management - tpmtoken_import
NAME¶
tpmtoken_import - import an X.509 certficate and/or an RSA key pair into the
user's TPM PKCS#11 data store
SYNOPSIS¶
tpmtoken_import [ OPTION ] FILE
DESCRIPTION¶
tpmtoken_import imports a PEM formatted representation of an X.509
certificate and/or an RSA key contained in FILE.
Importing an X.509 certificate creates an X.509 Public Key Certificate PKCS#11
object and also an RSA Public Key PKCS#11 object using the RSA public key
contained in the certificate. The certificate's key must be an RSA key in
order for the certificate to be successfully processed by this command.
Importing an RSA key creates an RSA Public Key and an RSA Private Key PKCS#11
object. In order to associate the RSA PKCS#11 objects with an X.509 Public Key
Certificate PKCS#11 object, the RSA PKCS#11 objects must have a subject name
and key identifier associated with them. This can be accomplished by supplying
the corresponding X.509 certificate as an optional command parameter.
The input can contain PEM formatted representations of both an X.509 certificate
and an RSA key. If both representations are present then an X.509 Public Key
Certificate PKCS#11 object, an RSA Public Key PKCS#11 object and an RSA
Private Key PKCS#11 object are created.
