pkcs11 — Bindings to the PKCS#11 cryptographic API

Build Status Documentation

PKCS#11 is an API used by smart cards and Hardware Security Modules to perform cryptographic operations such as signature or encryption.

This library is made of several packages:

  • pkcs11: type definitions corresponding to the PKCS#11 API
  • pkcs11-cli: a library exposing Cmdliner arguments used to initiate a PKCS#11 session
  • pkcs11-driver: bindings to emit calls to a PKCS#11 DLL
  • pkcs11-driver.fake: a fake PKCS#11 DLL that returned hardcoded values, used for testing
  • pkcs11-rev: reverse bindings to write OCaml PKCS#11 implementations

The entry point of this library is P11.load_driver. Examples are available in test/examples/.
