TKS Tool
The TKS utility, tksTool, manages keys, including keys stored on tokens, the TKS master key,
and related keys and databases.
1. Syntax
The tksTool can be used to manage certificates and keys in several different ways. The syntax
for these different operations is as follows:
• Deleting a key from a token.
tksTool -D -n keyname -d dbdir [-h token_name] [-p dbprefix] [-f pwfile]
• Inputting shares to generate a new transport key.
tksTool -I -n keyname -d dbdir [-h token_name] [-p dbprefix] [-f pwfile]
• Displaying the key check value (KCV) of the specified key.
tksTool -K -n keyname -d dbdir [-h token_name] [-p dbprefix] [-f pwfile]
• Listing a specified key or all keys.
tksTool -L -n keyname -d dbdir [-h all | -h token_name]
[-p dbprefix] [-f pwfile] [-x]
• Generating a new master key.
tksTool -M -n keyname -d dbdir [-h token_name] [-p dbprefix] [-f pwfile]
• Creating a new key database.
tksTool -N -d dbdir [-p dbprefix] [-f pwfile]
• Changing the key database password.
