Copy smart cards
z/OS Cryptographic Services ICSF TKE Workstation User's Guide
SA23-2211-08
This function allows you to copy keys and key parts from one TKE
smart card to another TKE smart card. You can copy these types of
keys:
- Crypto adapter logon key
- TKE authority signature key
- ICSF operational key parts
- ICSF master key parts
- Crypto adapter master key parts
Notes:
- The two TKE smart cards must be enrolled in the same
zone; otherwise the copy will fail. To display the zone of a TKE smart
card, exit from the TKE application and use either the Cryptographic
Node Management Utility or the Smart Card Utility Program found in
the Trusted Key Entry category's Applications list on the TKE
Workstation Console. See Cryptographic Node Management Utility (CNM) or Smart Card Utility Program (SCUP).
- To copy ECC key parts, the applet version of the target
smart card must be 0.6 or greater.
To copy a smart card:
- Select Copy smart card contents... from
the Utilities menu.
A message box prompts
you to “Insert source TKE smart card in smart card reader 1”.
- Insert the source TKE smart card in smart card reader 1 and press OK.
A message box prompts you to “Insert target
TKE smart card in smart card reader 2”.
- Insert the target TKE smart card in smart card reader 2 and press OK.
The utility reads the TKE smart card contents.
This may take some time. The card ID is displayed, followed by the
card description. Verify that these are the TKE smart cards you want
to work with.
The Copy smart card contents window lists the
following information for a TKE smart card:
- Card ID
- Identification of TKE smart card
- Zone description
- Description of the zone in which the TKE smart card is enrolled
- Card description
- Description of the TKE smart card; entered when the smart card
was personalized
- Card contents
- Key type, Description, Origin, MDC4, SHA1, ENC-Zero,
AES-VP, Control Vector or Key Attributes (for operational keys only),
and Length.
- Highlight the keys that you want to copy. By holding down the
control button on the keyboard, you can select specific entries on
the list with your mouse. By holding down the shift button on the
keyboard, you can select a specific range of entries on the list with
your mouse. Click on the Copy button or right
click and select Copy.
Note:
Smart
card copy does not overwrite the target TKE smart card. If there is
not enough room on the target TKE smart card, you will get an error
message. You can either delete some of the keys on the target TKE
smart card (see
Manage smart cards) or use a different TKE smart card.
- At the prompts, enter the PINs for the TKE smart cards on the
smart card reader PIN pads. The keys will then be copied to the target
TKE smart card. The target TKE smart card contents panel is refreshed.
Note:
You can display the key attributes associated
with a CIPHER, EXPORTER, or IMPORTER AES operational key part stored
on either the source or target smart card. Left click to select the
key part, then right click to display a popup menu. Select the Display key attributes option to display the key
attributes.
