SmartCard utilities/libraries for PKCS#11/15 compatible cards
|
|
|
|
This package provides a set of libraries and utilities to access
|
|
smart cards. Its main focus is on cards that support cryptographic
|
|
operations, and facilitate their use in security applications such
|
|
as mail encryption, authentication, and digital signature. OpenSC
|
|
implements the PKCS#11 API so applications supporting this API such
|
|
as Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird can use it. OpenSC implements the
|
|
PKCS#15 standard and aims to be compatible with every software that
|
|
does so, too.
|
|
|
|
You may need to edit /etc/opensc.conf in order to use a particular
|
|
backend and smartcard.
|
|
|
|
Beware! Smartcards have usually a limited number of times you may try a
|
|
wrong PIN/PUK combination before they become inoperable/permanently
|
|
blocked. You have been warned!
|
|
|
|
Since version 0.12.0, only one reader subsystem can be used and
|
|
compiled in at the same time. The PCSC-LITE subsystem is used by
|
|
default and it is suitable for most smartcards. If you need the
|
|
OPENCT subsystem instead, you have to pass "OPENCT=1" to the script
|
|
when building and have the optional dependency openct installed.
