SmartCard-HSM: Error Generating Private Key on Smart card through SC-HSM PKCS11 Module

[scottthomas007]

I am trying to generate private key on SmartCard-HSM but its showing that it is unsupported.

1st i tried to generate the private key through PKCS11 module(sc-hsm-pkcs11-2.7.0.msi) provided on SC-HSM website but it doesn't support key generation. Link of that zip file was http:https://www.cardcontact.de/download/sc-hsm-starterkit.zip

C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\tools>pkcs11-tool -l --pin 12345678 --key
pairgen --key-type rsa:2048 --id 10 -label "KEY" --module "C:\Program Files\Card
Contact\sc-hsm-pkcs11\lib\sc-hsm-pkcs11.dll"
Using slot 0 with a present token (0x0)
error: PKCS11 function C_GenerateKeyPair failed: rv = CKR_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED
(0x54)
Aborting.

C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\tools>pkcs11-tool -l --pin 12345678 --key
pairgen --key-type rsa:1024 --id 10 -label "KEY" --module "C:\Program Files\Open

What's this issue, can't we generate a key on SmartCard-HSM ?????

This PKCS#11 is a lightweight read/only module. It's meant to be deployed on workstations where no key generation or update is required. You can create keys with the PKCS#11 module from OpenSC or any of the other OpenSCDP tools and use the keys with the lightweight module.

Yes, SmartCard-HSM is fully workable with opensc-pkcs11.dll. I have verified it thoroughly.
Thanks.
