Who is this guide for?
For app developers who want to use native PKCS11 code to maintain smartcard-objects (keypairs, secret keys, certificates, storage objects) or use on-card-cryptography. PKCS11 can be used platform independent (all systems which support c / c++). Our library is shipped platform specific as e.g. .dll or .lib (with separate headers) and can be dynamically loaded into your program. Loading the library is outside of scope of this documentation.
