Samples

Sample Description
RSA key generation and data signing Demonstrates how to generate an RSA key pair, sign some data with the private key, and verify the signed data with the public key, interacting with a software HSM through the PKCS#11 API.
Certificate importing Demonstrates how to create an X509 certificate object on the HSM.
Key and Certificate getting Demonstrates searching for objects on a token based on a specified CKA_ID attribute value and, if found, outputs their type names.

Environment

These examples require any PKCS#11 library on your computer. I use SoftHSM for these examples. You can install it on Mac using this command.

brew install softhsm
softhsm2-util --init-token --so-pin "12345" --pin "12345" --slot 0 --label "My slot 0"
