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.
