.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fB/etc/crypto/certs\fR directory contains ASN.1 BER or PEM encoded
certificate files for use by the Solaris Cryptographic Framework.
.sp
.LP
A default installation contains root anchors and signing certificates. The
\fBCA\fR and \fBSUNWobjectCA\fR 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
.sp
.LP
Additional signing certificates may be installed by third-party cryptographic
providers. They should either be copied to \fB/etc/crypto/certs\fR or included
in the package that delivers the provider.
.sp
.LP
Only certificates that are issued by the \fBCA\fR or \fBSUNWobjectCA\fR
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 shipping this
revision of the product.
