+Description: Smart card utilities with support for PKCS#15 compatible cards
+ OpenSC provides a set of libraries and utilities to access smart
+ cards.  It mainly focuses on cards that support cryptographic
+ operations. It facilitates their use in security applications such as
+ mail encryption, authentication, and digital signature. OpenSC
+ implements the PKCS#11 API. Applications supporting this API, such as
+ Iceweasel and Icedove, can use it. OpenSC implements the PKCS#15
+ standard and aims to be compatible with all software that does so as
+ well.
  .
- These utilities allow the user to initialize, personalize and
- otherwise manipulate PKCS#15 cards with PINs and cryptographic 
- keys. Users can sign and decrypt data with private keys 
- residing on-card.
- .
- Supported cards include Gemplus GPK, Schlumberger Cryptoflex,
- Finnish FINEID, Swedish eID, MioCOS and TCOS cards.
+ Before purchasing any cards, please read carefully documentation in
+ /usr/share/doc/opensc/html/wiki/index.html - only some cards are
+ supported. Not only does card type matters, but also card version,
+ card OS version and preloaded applet. Only a subset of possible
+ operations may be supported for your card. Card initialization may
+ require third party proprietary software.
