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.

SEE ALSO
     pkcsslotd(8),
     pkcsconf(1),
     opencryptoki.conf(5).
