NAME

       openCryptoki - A PKCS#11 implementation.

DESCRIPTION

       openCryptoki  is an implementation of the PKCS#11 API standard. It provides an interface to the functions
       of underlying cryptographic tokens, which may be  implemented  via  software  or  hardware.  The  PKCS#11
       specification  has  been  released  by RSA Labs. More information on PKCS#11 can be found on the RSA labs
       website: http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs.

       To use openCryptoki, first run pkcs11_startup to initialize the contents of the pk_config_data file. Then
       run the pkcsslotd daemon. At this point, openCryptoki is ready to start receiving PKCS#11  requests  from
       user  applications.  If  openCryptoki  is  included by your distro, its likely that pkcs11_startup is run
       automatically by an init script.

       Use the pkcsconf utility to further configure openCryptoki once the daemon is running.
