Welcome to libp11

Libp11 is a library implementing a small layer on top of PKCS#11 API to make using PKCS#11 implementations easier.

The official name for PKCS#11 is "RSA Security Inc. PKCS #11 Cryptographic Token Interface (Cryptoki)".

The official header files for PKCS #11 Standard are under a non-free license. Libp11 does not include these header files, but instead uses a rewritten pkcs11.h header file from scute project, which is licensed as open source software.

Libp11 was written by an international team and is licensed as Open Source software. For a list of all authors and contributers as well as detailed license information see AuthorsAndCredits.
