yubico-piv-tool -a read-certificate -s <slot> [ -o cert.pem ] yubico-piv-tool -a verify-pin -a test-decipher -s <slot> [ -P <PIN code> -i cert.pem ]
Tests decryption function.
test-signature and test-decipher are actions that require verifying the PIN code or the fingerprint if the YubiKey
supports Bio verification, which has to be done in an action that must take place before the generation action,
otherwise the tests will fail. Use -a verify-pin to verify the PIN and -a verify-bio for fingerprint verification.
Performing the test will require the certificate stored on the slot to test. This is done using the "read-certificate" action first.
