PKCS#11 is a standard software interface for accessing cryptographic functions on smart cards. Safeguard Authentication Services for Smart Cards uses the vendor-provided PKCS#11 drivers to interface with the card.
Safeguard Authentication Services integrates with third-party drivers, such as OpenSC. Once the drivers are installed, Safeguard Authentication Services references these drivers from the installed shared library; therefore, you need to know the name and location of this library when you configure Safeguard Authentication Services for Smart Cards.
Note: Safeguard Authentication Services for Smart Cards is derived from the RSA Security Inc. PKCS#11 Cryptographic Token Interface (Cryptoki).
