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.
