Hi, I'm an openSC user and in order to perform tests without breaking smartcards I'm looking for a pkcs#11 software token.
To my knowledge their is at least 3 suitable implementations : - soft pkcs#11 : but it just can do anything - gpkcs#11 : that seems to be abandoned, since last changes was in 2000. I compile it with the last version of GCC and so I need to modify few lines of C code. When I finally succeed to compile it, the resulting pkcs#11 library does'nt work very well : I can list slots and mechanisms using pkcs11-tool but that's all, when I try to generate or create key it fails : seg fault :-( . I try to contact the developpers last week unsuccessfully. - NSS soft-token that is a part of mozilla project. However it doesn't work with standard PKCS#11 applications such as pkcs11-tool since C_initialize must be called using particular parameters : see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/FC_Initialize So today I think that there is no software token that can be used with opensc. So to solve this problem their is at least 3 solutions : -1 add an option to pkcs11-tool to allow NSS softtoken to be loaded -2 make gpkcs#11 working and integrate it into openSC -3 create a new project of soft-token inside openSC project (maybe by reusing some parts of gpkcs11 code) I can help to modify pkcs11-tool for the first solution. But I think that is not a good solution since mozilla project is a big project and building only the soft-token seems pretty difficult. So it is not easy to modify the code of the soft token. I can help also on gpkcs#11 if you think it should be integrated into openSC.
