| <p>In order for multiple applications on the user's desktop to use |
| PKCS#11 modules in a consistent manner, there must be a configuration |
| or registry to specify which modules to load and how to use them. The |
| PKCS#11 specification does not specify such a configuration standard. |
| </p> |
| <p>Because of the multi-library module initialization problem, use of |
| PKCS#11 modules must be coordinated within an application. p11-kit |
| provides that coordination. Since coordination is required, it follows |
| that p11-kit can also implement a consistent module configuration. |
