This defines NSS's PKCS #11 (Cryptoki) implementation. The API itself is considered to define the top edge of the cryptographic boundary, i.e., all application and upper level library access to the FIPS module is through this API. | This defines NSS's PKCS #11 (Cryptoki) implementation.

Also included in this module is the FIPS PKCS #11 token and the crypto algorithm support library called freebl. The FIPS PKCS #11 token is a Cryptoki token designed specifically for FIPS, and allows applications using NSS to operate in a strictly FIPS mode. | Also included in this module is the FIPS PKCS #11 token and the crypto algorithm support library called freebl.
