OpenSC 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.
