Set the card's touch policy (if supported)

Usage

oct {admin touch <-k | --key> <-p | --policy> [{-h | --help}]}

Overview

Set the card's touch policy (if supported)

A touch policy defines if cryptographic operations on the card require user interaction with the card, for example by touching a button on the card.

Only some cards support this feature at all, not all cards support all policies.

Caution: Setting the ATT slot to Fixed or Cached-Fixed is permanent. Even a factory reset does not undo this setting.

Options

-k, --key <Key slot>

Key slot to set the touch policy for

Possible values:

•

SIG

AUT

•

ATT

-p, --policy <Policy>

Touch policy to set on this key slot

Off: No touch confirmation required. On: Touch confirmation required for each operation. Fixed: Like 'On', but the policy can only be changed by a reset. Cached: Like 'On', but touch confirmation is valid for 15 seconds. Cached-Fixed: Combines 'Cached' and 'Fixed'.
