pakchois is just another PKCS#11 wrapper library. pakchois aims to provide a thin wrapper over the PKCS#11 interface. The goals are: 1) to offer a modern* object-oriented C interface wrapper for PKCS#11. 2) to not hide or abstract away any details of the PKCS#11 interface itself except where absolutely necessary. 3) to handle the details of loading DSOs 4) to allow the caller to avoid caring about where on the system PKCS#11 modules might be stored, or exactly how they are named. 5) to avoid any dependency on a particular cryptography toolkit. Existing PKCS#11 wrapper libraries solutions differ in at least one of the above goals. *: "modern" being a euphemism for not using process-global state, having a sane symbol namespace, etc.
