pkcs11-helper -- PKCS#11 simplification.

Copyright (c) 2005-2011 Alon Bar-Lev <alon.barlev@gmail.com>

ABOUT
	PKCS#11 is published standard. PKCS#11 is the de-facto standard to
	access cryptographic devices.

	pkcs11-helper is a library that simplifies the interaction with
	PKCS#11 providers for end-user applications.

FEATURES
	pkcs11-helper allows using multiple PKCS#11 providers at the same
	time, enumerating available token certificates, or selecting a
	certificate directly by serialized id, handling card removal and
	card insert events, handling card re-insert to a different
	slot, supporting session expiration and much more all using a
	simple API.

	pkcs11-helper is not designed to manage card content, since object
	attributes are usually vendor specific, and 99% of application need
	to access existing objects in order to perform signature and
	decryption.

COMPATIBILITY
	- The pkcs11-helper library is available in POSIX and WIN32 compliant
	  systems.

	- The pkcs11-helper library should work with almost any PKCS#11 provider,
	  since it uses the minimum required features of the PKCS#11 standard.
