ElPKCS11CertStorage is a descendant of ElCustomCertStorage.

Description

    ElPKCS11CertStorage provides access to certificate storages via PKCS#11 API. This API is usually used to access cryptocards and cryptotokens. Each vendor of the card reader device or crypto token usually ships a PKCS#11 DLL to let applications, which support PKCS#11 (eg. Mozilla, Firefox, PGP etc.) to access the device.

    To use the storage, you need to perform the following sequence of the operations:

• Specify the name of the DLL module which provides PKCS#11 API
• Call Open method to open the storage
• Call OpenSession to start a session. This is necessary if you want to read/write certificates and private keys. Without opening a session you can only obtain certain slot and token/card information
• Call ElPKCS11SessionInfo.Login to get access to protected information (see PKCS#11 standard for details).
• After the application has finished using the token/card, call Close method.
