Description

This is the basic class to provide OpenXPKI with an OpenSSL basedcryptographic token. Beside the documented function all functionsin the class OpenXPKI::Crypto::Backend::OpenSSL::Engine areavailable here too because we map these engine specific functionsdirectly to the engine (via AUTOLOAD).
