That is allow setting a consistent security level for crypto on all applications in a Fedora system. The implementation approach will be to initially modify SSL libraries to respect the policy and gradually adding more libraries and applications. * Access control in PCSC URL: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/PcscAccessControl Announcement: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-February/196038.html Add access control to PC/SC smart cards available in the system.
