pkcs11-helper -- PKCS#11 simplification.

Copyright (c) 2005-2018 Alon Bar-Lev 

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.
