Abstract

A security initialization system obtains load data that identifies a first database storing security data to be opened. The initialization system determines that a PKCS-based module for opening the first database is already initialized, where the PKCS-based module is already initialized from previously opening a second database. The initialization system causes the PKCS-based module to create a slot to open the first database, without shutting down the PKCS-based module, in response to determining that the PKCS-based module is already initialized.
