Description
The information system ensures that even if it is compromised, that compromise will not affect credentials stored on the authentication device. The daemon program for "pcsc-lite" and the MuscleCard framework is "pcscd". It is a resource manager that coordinates communications with smart card readers, smart cards, and cryptographic tokens that are connected to the system.
