Main problem with pure PKCS#11 is an applicaiton loads only one
pkcs11 lib. NSS can load multiple pkcs11 libs, Google for NSS PKCS#11
Then there is the Solaris PKCS#11 Cryptographic Framework library.
From the man page:
" The libpkcs11 library implements the RSA Security Inc.
PKCS#11 Cryptographic Token Interface (Cryptoki), v2.20
specification by using plug-ins to provide the slots.
Each plug-in, which also implements RSA PKCS#11 v2.20,
represents one or more slots."
