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.
|
|
|
|
It depends on: pcsc-lite and openct (both of which are available on
|
|
SlackBuilds).
|
|
|
|
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!
