To add a little context:

PKCS#11 is a standard for accessing hardware security devices.

http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pse...cs_overview.htm
"The PKCS #11 subsystem provides applications with a method for
accessing hardware devices (tokens) regardless of the type of device.
The content in this chapter conforms to Version 2.01 of the PKCS #11
standard."

See also Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA)
and the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/

Open Source implementations:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/
http://gpkcs11.sourceforge.net/
And you might be able to find others with a Google search.

Thank you for your answer...
I've found nothing yet.
To specify my problem I've to write a C code to read from a smart
card, insert a pin and digitally sign an e-mail.
I'm looking for an OpenSource project which do this...
If someone knows please tell.
thanks

Andrea
