.SH "NAME"
pkcs15-profile \- format of profile for \fBpkcs15\-init\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBpkcs15\-init\fR
utility for PKCS #15 smart card personalization is controlled via profiles\&. When starting, it will read two such profiles at the moment, a generic application profile, and a card specific profile\&. The generic profile must be specified on the command line, while the card\-specific file is selected based on the type of card detected\&.
.PP
The generic application profile defines general information about the card layout, such as the path of the application DF, various PKCS #15 files within that directory, and the access conditions on these files\&. It also defines general information about PIN, key and certificate objects\&. Currently, there is only one such generic profile,
pkcs15\&.profile\&.
.PP
The card specific profile contains additional information required during card initialization, such as location of PIN files, key references etc\&. Profiles currently reside in
/usr/share/opensc
.SH "SYNTAX"
.PP
This section should contain information about the profile syntax\&. Will add this soonishly\&.
