Introduction to the YubiKey PIV Application
===========================================
Yubico PIV Tool
===============
The YubiKey supports the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card
interface specified in NIST SP 800-73 document "Cryptographic
Algorithms and Key Sizes for PIV". This enables you to perform RSA or
Algorithms and Key Sizes for PIV". PIV enables you to perform RSA or
ECC sign/decrypt operations using a private key stored on the
smartcard, through common interfaces like PKCS#11.
