The active ingredient in the cackey package is the file
/usr/lib/pkcs11/libcackey.so - which is a "PKCS #11 module".
Its usage depends on application to support it. It's similar in concept
to a PAM module or an NSS module.
Some applications it can be used with:
1. Firefox
2. Thunderbird
3. Chromium
4. OpenSSH
5. OpenConnect (VPN)
6. Kerberos
7. PAM (pam_pkcs11 module can load pkcs11 modules)
Loading the module will differ for each application. Here's how you do it
in current versions of Firefox on Linux:

Chromium on Linux:

OpenSSH is done by using either "ssh -I <module>" or (better) using an SSH
agent, for OpenSSH that would be done by using "ssh-add -s <module>".
OpenConnect is more complicated since it uses ilbp11.
Kerberos is done using PKINIT with a PKCS11 provider:

The pam_pkcs11 configuration is similarly complex, but targeted at PKCS#11.
