ABOUT PKCS#11 is published standard. PKCS#11 is the de-facto standard to access cryptographic devices.
pkcs11-helper is a library that simplifies the interaction with
PKCS#11 providers for end-user applications.
FEATURES pkcs11-helper allows using multiple PKCS#11 providers at the same time, enumerating available token certificates, or selecting a certificate directly by serialized id, handling card removal and card insert events, handling card re-insert to a different slot, supporting session expiration and much more all using a simple API.
pkcs11-helper is not designed to manage card content, since object
attributes are usually vendor specific, and 99% of application need
to access existing objects in order to perform signature and
decryption.
COMPATIBILITY - The pkcs11-helper library is available in POSIX and WIN32 compliant systems.
- The pkcs11-helper library should work with almost any PKCS#11 provider,
since it uses the minimum required features of the PKCS#11 standard.
