NAME
gpshell - command line tool for the management of GlobalPlatform compliant smart cards
SYNOPSIS
gpshell scriptfile
DESCRIPTION
gpshell can manage applications on smart cards supporting the GlobalPlatform. This comprises the instal‐
lation and deletion of applications, getting the applications status and card data. These applications
are practical always Java Card applets. Additional key management commands are provided.
The most common way to use gpshell is a script file. But it is also possible to read the commands from
stdin if no script file is provided.
Within a script environment variables can be accessed with the syntax ${ENV_VAR_NAME}.
Reading the commands from stdin allows one to feed in the commands dynamically and use conditionals when
using the Expect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expect) pattern. Tools are available for a variety of
script languages, shells and programming languages. Example are to support environment variables and
handle results and output conditionally.
There are several txt example scripts provided which gets installed into usr/local/share/docs or
/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/globalplatform/share/doc/gpshell1/ or can be found online
(https://github.com/kaoh/globalplatform/tree/master/gpshell).
COMMANDS
mode_201
Set protocol mode to OpenPlatform 2.0.1. This is the default.
mode_211
Set protocol mode to GlobalPlatform 2.1.1 and later
visa_key_derivation
For cards which use the VISA key derivation scheme for the key calculation, like GemXpresso Pro,
Palmera Protect or some JCOP cards this must be set.
emv_cps11_key_derivation
For cards which uses the EMV CPS 1.1 key derivation scheme for the key calculation, like a Sm@rt‐
Cafe Expert 3.0 this must be set.
enable_trace
Enable APDU trace
You will see the sent APDUs in clear text. The last two bytes of the response are the response code. A
response code of 9000 means success, otherwise the response code indicates an error. This may be OK when
deleting a non existing applet or package.
enable_timer
Enable the logging of the execution times of commands.
establish_context
Establish context. This must always be executed before connecting to a card.
card_connect -reader readerName -protocol protocol
Connect to card in the reader with readerName. By default protocol is 0 = T0.
card_connect -readerNumber x -protocol protocol
Connect to card in the x th reader in the system. By default protocol is 0 = T0.
open_sc -keyind x -keyver x -key key -mac_key mac-key -enc_key enc-key -kek_key kek-key -security secu‐
rityLevel -scp protocol -scpimpl impl -keyDerivation derivation
Open a secure channel
For OpenPlatform 2.0.1’ cards only -keyind -keyver -mac_key and -enc_key are necessary.
For GlobalPlatform 2.1.1 and later cards -scp and -scpimpl should not be necessary to supply. You must
also specify -kek_key.
If the card supports a Secure Channel Protocol Implementation with only one base key, specify this key
with -key and omit the others.
If the card uses a key derivation mechanism you must enable the derivation mode with the -keyDerivation
option and you must specify with -key the master (mother) key. -kek_key, -mac_key and -enc_key are not
relevant is this case. See the section Options and Key Derivation. NOTE: If the secure channel is going
to be opened when no security domain is selected then the command get_secure_channel_protocol_details
must be executed before to be able to get the Secure Channel Protocol Implementation.
select -AID AID
Select AID instance

stanceAID -nvCodeLimit x -nvDataLimit y -instParam installationParams -uiccSystemSpecParam uiccSystem‐
SpecParams -simSpecParam simSpecParams
Load and installs an applet in one step
The parameters -AID -instAID -pkgAID -nvCodeLimit can be detected automatically and the -AID and -instAID
is set to the first applet in appletfile.
For the sdAID the AID selected with the select command is chosen if not given. Otherwise the default
Card Manager / Security Issuer Domain AID is chosen. Usually you do not have to pass it.
-instParam specifies applet installation parameters for the install() method -uiccSystemSpecParam speci‐
fies parameters according to ETSI TS 102 226, sect. 8.2.1.3.2.2 to use the Card Application Toolkit
(CAT) functionality or to access the UICC file system. The parameters have to be already encoded without
the outer tag `EA'. -simSpecParam specifies parameters according to ETSI TS 102 226, sect. 8.2.1.3.2.1
to use the SIM Application Toolkit (STK) functionality or to access the SIM file system. The parameters
have to be already encoded without the outer tag `CA'.
install_for_load -pkgAID packageAID -sdAID sdAID -nvCodeLimit y
Applet load preparation
For the sdAID the AID selected with the select command is chosen if not given. Otherwise the default
Card Manager / Security Issuer Domain AID is chosen. Usually you do not have to pass it.
This command may be needed if the combined install command does not work.
load -file appletFile

sion is the common one.
-pass password
Password for key decryption
-identifier identifier
Identifier for the tag for the get_data command. Must be in hex format, e.g. 9F7F.
There are several identifiers available but in general not all cards are supporting them. The Glob‐
alPlatform specification v2.3.1 lists a few in section 11.3.3.1. It is useful to use some ASN.1 parser
to interpret these data, like asn1js (https://lapo.it/asn1js)
Some useful identifier are:
• 9F7F - CPLC (Card Production Life Cycle) Data
• 00E0 - Key Information Templates. Instead of the first byte 00 also 01, ... can be used to get more
key information templates if available. There is a dedicated command for getting this: get_key_infor‐
mation_templates
• 2F00 - List of applications
• FF21 - Extended card resources. There is a dedicated command for getting this: get_extended_card_re‐
sources_information
• 0066 - Card Recogniti0on Data. There is a dedicated command for getting this: get_card_recognition_da‐
ta
-data data
Data in hex format for the store_data command.
-noStop
Does not stop in case of an error
-keyType keyType
Type of the key for the put_sc_key command. Must be in hex format, e.g. 88.
Format of CPLC data
You see the command trace of a GET DATA command and the interpreted result.

-keyDerivation derivation method
Possible values are none, visa2 or emvcps11
Choose visa2 if you have a card which uses the VISA key derivation scheme for the key calculation, like
GemXpresso Pro or some JCOP cards you must set this.
Choose emvcps11 If you have a card which uses the EMV CPS 1.1 key derivation scheme for the key calcula‐
tion, like a Sm@rtCafe Expert 3.0 and later you must set this. Also for put_sc_key this is necessary for
Sm@rtcafe 5.0 (and earlier(?)) cards
ENVIRONMENT
GLOBALPLATFORM_DEBUG
Enables debugging output from the underlying GlobalPlatform library.
GLOBALPLATFORM_LOGFILE
Sets the log file name for the debugging output.
Key Derivation
visa2 For the VISA2 key derivation scheme, like used in a GemXpresso Pro or some JCOP cards.
emvcps11
For the key derivation according to EMV CPS 1.1 (CDK (CPG 2.04)), like Sm@rtCafe Expert 3.0 and
later.
Known unsupported key derivation schemes are:
• CDK (CPG 2.02)
• ISK(D)
Supported Cards

Misc
About install_for_load and install
For CosmopoliC 64K (tested on V5.2), you need to specify the Security Domain AID. For example,
install -file helloworld.cap -sdAID A000000003000000 -nvCodeLimit 4000
For GemXpresso R3.2 E64, you need to specify the Security Domain AID (Card Manager AID). For example,
install -file helloworld.cap -sdAID A000000018434D00 -nvCodeLimit 4000
JCOP cards
If you cannot authenticate to your card it might be not fused. In this case you need the transport key
from the vendor. Execute the JCOP IDENTIFY command.
select -aid A000000167413000FF Offset 14 (decimal) of the response has the pre-personalized state. 00h
means not fused (not personalized), 01h means fused.
CyberFlex cards
For the Cyberflex you also need the CAP transformer (I believe this is a kind of obfuscator) which you
must apply to the CAP file. Download it from http://www.trusted-logic.fr/down.php and use it.
BUGS
JCOP 10
install_for_load fails for unknown reason, so nothing can be installed.
Some cards are not supporting the GET DATA command. This command is used by GPShell for retrieving the
secure channel parameters. So you have to pass -scp 2 -scpimpl 0x15 to open_sc command.
