NAME

6       openCryptoki - A PKCS#11 implementation.

DESCRIPTION

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

16       To  use  openCryptoki,  first run pkcs11_startup to initialize the con‐
17       tents of the pk_config_data file. Then run  the  pkcsslotd  daemon.  At
18       this  point,  openCryptoki is ready to start receiving PKCS#11 requests
19       from user applications. If openCryptoki is included by your distro, its
20       likely that pkcs11_startup is run automatically by an init script.
21
22       Use  the  pkcsconf  utility  to further configure openCryptoki once the
23       daemon is running.
