Pkcs11 - bindings to the PKCS#11 cryptographic API

PKCS11 is an API used by smartcards 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 pkcs11 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/.
