Christian...

You might want to look at participating in our openCryptoki project 
rather than create a PKCS#11 implementation from scratch.

If you go to
http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/openCryptoki/
you can get some information, or you can email me and I'll try and 
answer what ever questions you may have...
