		<title>Description</title>
		<para>
			The <command>pkcs11-tool</command> utility is used to manage the
			data objects on smart cards and similar PKCS #11 security tokens.
			Users can list and read PINs, keys and certificates stored on the
			token. User PIN authentication is performed for those operations
			that require it.
