Might it be a disabled or expired Cert in Keychain Access?


Keychain access uses tokend. Tokend has been dead since 10.15, and trying to find certs there in any way will not happen.

I ran the following command to validate what had been disabled:

security smartcards token -l "com.apple.CryptoTokenKit.pivtoken"

Most likely, the Thursby TokenD disabled it.

#01: com.thursby.tokend.pkard:1.7 (/Library/Security/PKard/10.6/PKard.tokend)

Remove that from your system, and you should be good to go after running that command to enable

security smartcard token -e com.apple.CryptoTokenKit.pivtoken

Removing the old driver from Thursby did the trick; I used the uninstaller from Thursby.

As a minor note, I believe the driver came from Mac to Mac transfer that I did from an old computer that I had forgotten.
