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! -- cgit v1.2.3
