About</a></h2>
<dl class="user"><dt><b></b></dt><dd><a href="http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/pkcs/pkcs-11">PKCS#11</a> is <a href="http://www.rsasecurity.com">RSA Security</a> published standard. PKCS#11 is the de-facto standard to access cryptographic devices. </dd></dl>
<dl class="user"><dt><b></b></dt><dd>pkcs11-helper is a library that simplifies the interaction with PKCS#11 providers for end-user applications. </dd></dl>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="features">
Features</a></h2>
<dl class="user"><dt><b></b></dt><dd>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. </dd></dl>
<dl class="user"><dt><b></b></dt><dd>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. </dd></dl>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="compatibility">
Compatibility</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>The pkcs11-helper library is available in POSIX and WIN32 compliant systems.</li>
<li>The pkcs11-helper library should work with almost any PKCS#11 provider, since it uses the minimum required features of the PKCS#11 standard. </li>
</ul>
