NAME
       crypto_certs - directory for certificate files for Solaris Cryptographic Framework

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/crypto/certs/CA

       /etc/crypto/certs/SUNWobjectCA

       /etc/crypto/certs/*

DESCRIPTION
       The /etc/crypto/certs directory contains ASN.1 BER or PEM encoded certificate files for use by the Solaris Cryptographic Framework.

       A  default  installation contains root anchors and signing certificates. The CA and SUNWobjectCA certificates are the trust anchors for all
       other certificates. Other certificates contain the certificates used to sign and verify the Solaris user and kernel cryptographic plug-ins

       Additional signing certificates may be installed by third-party cryptographic providers. They should either be copied to  /etc/crypto/certs
       or included in the package that delivers the provider.

       Only  certificates  that  are issued by the CA or SUNWobjectCA certificates and include the organization unit "Solaris Cryptographic Frame-
       work" in their subject distinguished names are accepted by the Solaris Cryptographic Framework. This restriction is  in	place  due  to	US
       Export Law on the export of open cryptographic interfaces at the time of shipping this revision of the product.
