2.5.3 Logging in to a Device
Logging in provides access to the IDs on a particular device or smart card. In most cases login in is not
required as it occurs on demand during signing or encryption/decryption.
PKCS#11 workflows vary by the device supplier. For example, additional passwords or PINs may or may not
be required. The login interface may be provided by the Adobe application or by the device supplier.
