# pskc2pskc(1)

Convert a PSKC file to standard format

## NAME

pskc2pskc - Convert a PSKC file to standard format

## SYNOPSIS

**pskc2pskc** \[*options*\] \<*FILE*\>

## DESCRIPTION

**pskc2pskc** reads a PSKC file in any of the supported formats, optionally decrypts any encrypted information and outputs a PSKC file in the RFC 6030 format, optionally encrypting the file.

## OPTIONS

- **-h, --help**

  Display usage summary.

- **-V, --version**

  Display version information.

- **-o FILE, --output FILE**

  By default **pskc2pskc** writes a PSKC file to stdout. This option can be used to save to a file instead.

- **-p PASS/FILE, --password PASS/FILE, --passwd PASS/FILE**

  The password to use for decryption. If the argument refers to a file the password is read from the file instead.

- **-s KEY/FILE, --secret KEY/FILE**

  A hex encoded encryption key or a file containing the binary (raw data, not encoded) key used for decryption.

- **--new-password PASS/FILE, --new-passwd PASS/FILE**

  Output an encrypted PSKC file that is protected with the specified password (or read the password from the file if a file argument was specified).

- **--new-secret KEY/FILE**

  Ensure that the output PSKC file is encrypted with the specified key value. The key can be provided as a hex-encoded value or point to a file that contains the binary value of the key.
