A compact tool for seamless utilization of PKCS#11 modules.
Libp11 is a valuable library that implements a convenient layer over the PKCS#11 API, simplifying the usage of PKCS#11 implementations. The PKCS#11 API, also known as "RSA Security Inc. PKCS #11 Cryptographic Token Interface (Cryptoki)", is notoriously difficult to use. But with Libp11, users can utilize PKCS#11 more easily.
It should be noted that the official header files for the PKCS#11 Standard are under a non-free license. However, Libp11 does not include these header files. Instead, it uses a rewritten pkcs11.h header file from the scute project, which is licensed as open source software.
Overall, Libp11 is a fantastic tool for anyone who needs to work with PKCS#11. Its added layer of convenience makes working with cryptographic tokens easier than ever. And with the open source license, users can rest assured that they can use Libp11 without any legal issues.
