The \*(nm utilities and librariescan be used with ISO 7816\-4 compatible cards providing basic,ISO filesystem manipulation.  The primary goal of \*(nm, however, is to support cryptographic functionality made possible by PKCS #15compatible cards.  .PPFunctionality includes PIN\-protected, on\-card private and public key storage, message signing/verification and key generation..PP\*(nm libraries are built on top of PC/SC\-lite middleware and canuse any reader devices supported by it..SH OTHER FEATURESPAM library..brOpenSSH integration..brPKCS #11 integration..SH SUPPORTED CARDS.TPAs of this writing, \*(nm is known to support the following PKCS #15 compatible cards..brFinnish FINEID (SetCOS).brSwedish Posten eID (SetCOS).brSchlumberger Cryptoflex 16k and 8k.brGemplus GPK 4000, 8000 and 16000.brMioCOS 1.1.brTCOS 2.0.SH SEE ALSO.BR opensc-tool (1),.BR opensc-explorer (1),.BR opensc-config (1),.BR pkcs15 (7),.BR pkcs15-init (1),.BR pkcs15-tool (1),.BR pkcs15-crypt (1),.BR cryptoflex-tool (1),.BR http://www.opensc.org.SH AUTHORThis manpage was contributed by Joe Phillips <joe.phillips@innovationsw.com>,for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
