NAME
       openCryptoki - A PKCS#11 implementation.

DESCRIPTION
       openCryptoki  is an implementation of the PKCS#11 API standard. It pro‐
       vides an interface to the functions of underlying cryptographic tokens,
       which may be implemented via software or hardware. The PKCS#11 specifi‐
       cation 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	 open‐
       Cryptoki 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.
