  33 <p>In order for multiple applications on the user's desktop to use
  34                         PKCS#11 modules in a consistent manner, there must be a configuration
  35                         or registry to specify which modules to load and how to use them. The
  36                         PKCS#11 specification does not specify such a configuration standard.
  37                 </p>
  38 <p>Because of the multi-library module initialization problem, use of
  39                         PKCS#11 modules must be coordinated within an application. p11-kit
  40                         provides that coordination. Since coordination is required, it follows
  41                         that p11-kit can also implement a consistent module configuration.
