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, run the pkcsslotd daemon. The daemon will read the  opencryptoki.conf
       file to collect information about the tokens and their slots.

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

SECURITY NOTE

       All  non-root  users  that  require  access  to  PKCS#11 tokens using openCryptoki must be
       assigned to the pkcs11 group to be able to communicate with  the  pkcsslotd  daemon.  Only
       fully  trusted  users  should  be granted membership in the group. Group members can block
       other openCryptoki users from accessing PKCS#11 tokens, and execute  arbitrary  code  with
       the privileges of other openCryptoki users.
