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 Crypto-
     graphic 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  Framework"  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 ship-
     ping this revision of the product.
