About the PKCS#11 API

The HID ActivClient PKCS#11 library is the HID implementation of the PKCS#11 cryptographic standard that provides PKCS#11 access to any smart card or USB key supported by HID ActivClient.

The PKCS#11 library enables managing and using key pairs and digital certificates along with device management keys such as PINs.

It is compliant with the PKCS#11 Cryptographic Token Interface Standard v2.40. For more details, including any limitations and the scope of the APIs covered see the Crescendo PKCS#11 documentation.
