In this area of the IGEL Setup, you can activate or deactivate smartcard middleware (PKCS#11 module) that is to be used for encryption. Alternatively, you can specify here your own PKCS#11 module that you want to use with the Chromium browser.

For more information on smartcard authentication in IGEL OS, see the how-to Smartcard Authentication in IGEL OS.
