PKCS #11 is a standard set of programming interfaces for cryptographic functions. A subset of these functions is supported by ICSF. In the context of PKCS #11, a token is a representation of a cryptographic device, such as a smart card reader.

The PKCS11 token browser allows management of PKCS #11 tokens and objects in the TKDS. The PKCS11 token browser is option 7 PKCS11 TOKEN on the ICSF utilities panel. The user must have SAF authority to manage tokens and SAF authority to a token to manage the objects of a token (see RACF Protecting ICSF Services used by the Token Browser Utility Panels).
