pakchois is just another PKCS#11 wrapper library. pakchois aims to
|
||
|
|
provide a thin wrapper over the PKCS#11 interface.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The goals are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) to offer a modern* object-oriented C interface wrapper for PKCS#11.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) to not hide or abstract away any details of the PKCS#11 interface
|
||
|
|
itself except where absolutely necessary.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3) to handle the details of loading DSOs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4) to allow the caller to avoid caring about where on the system
|
||
|
|
PKCS#11 modules might be stored, or exactly how they are named.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5) to avoid any dependency on a particular cryptography toolkit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Existing PKCS#11 wrapper libraries solutions differ in at least one of
|
||
|
|
the above goals.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*: "modern" being a euphemism for not using process-global state,
|
||
|
|
having a sane symbol namespace, etc.
