openCryptoki is an implementation of the PKCS #11 API that allows interfacing to devices (such as a smart card, smart disk, or PCMCIA card) that hold cryptographic information and perform cryptographic functions. openCryptoki provides application portability by isolating the application from the details of the cryptographic device. Isolating the application also provides an added level of security because all cryptographic information stays within the device. The openCryptoki API provides a standard programming interface between applications and all kinds of portable cryptographic devices.
