+The wallet is a system for managing secure data, authorization rules to
+retrieve or change that data, and audit rules for documenting actions
+taken on that data. Objects of various types may be stored in the wallet
+or generated on request and retrieved by authorized users. The wallet
+tracks ACLs, metadata, and trace information. It is built on top of the
+remctl protocol and uses Kerberos GSS-API authentication. One of the
+object types it supports is Kerberos keytabs, making it suitable as a
+user-accessible front-end to Kerberos kadmind with richer ACL and metadata
+operations.
