PKCS #11 Cryptographic Token Interface Historical Mechanisms Specification Version 2.40

OASIS Standard

14 April 2015

Overview:

PKCS #11 is an application programming interface (API) that enables interaction with cryptographic devices in multi-vendor environments.

The Base Specification provides normative definition of PKCS #11 objects, attributes and operations.

Profiles describes conformant profiles consisting of PKCS #11 objects, attributes, operations and mechanisms.

Current Mechanisms describe the application of PKCS #11 objects, attributes and operations for specific mechanisms currently in general use.

Historical Mechanisms describe the application of PKCS #11 objects, attributes and operations for specific mechanisms that have been but are no longer in general use.

The OASIS PKCS 11 Technical Committee develops enhancements to improve the PKCS #11 standard for ease of use in code libraries, open source applications, wrappers, and enterprise/COTS products: implementation guidelines, usage tutorials, test scenarios and test suites, interoperability testing, coordination of functional testing, development of conformance profiles, and providing reference implementations.

These new OASIS Standards were approved by the membership of the organization on 14 April 2015.
