Card Initialization

Procure some PKCS15 smart cards. Do not get Java Cards. Get "eToken" cards. They're CDW Part #1537376 . I'm sorry you'll have to deal with CDW but that's life sometimes.

Install the following packages:

• pesign
• pcsc-lite-ccid
• pcsc-tools
• pcsc-lite
• opensc

Use openssl to generate a signing key ("fedora.p12" from here on out)

eddie:~$ mkdir db
eddie:~$ cd db
eddie:~/db$ openssl genrsa -out fedora.key 2048
Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus

eddie:~/db$ openssl req -new -key fedora.key -out fedora.csr

Initialize two smart cards

• Make sure pcscd is running

service pcscd start

• Insert your Smart Card
• Initialize each card as a pkcs15 card

# CDW Part #1537376.
PIN=12345678
CARDLABEL="Fedora Signing Card"

# Format (wipe) the card.
# opensc-tool --list-algorithms
cardos-tool -f

# Create the PKCS#15 structures, set the security officer PIN and unlock code.
pkcs15-init -CT

# Create a user PIN and unlock code.
pkcs15-init -P -a 1 --pin $PIN --label "$CARDLABEL"

• Import the signing key to each of the smart cards

# Import a PKCS12 bundle.
pkcs15-init --store-private-key fedora.p12 --format pkcs12 --auth-id 01 --pin $PIN

# List the contents.
pkcs11-tool --module opensc-pkcs11.so -l --pin $PIN -O

• For the love of god remove every file that was generated

eddie:~/db$ cd ..
eddie:~$ rm -rf db
