Description : high level PKCS#11 interface for Python
A high level, "more Pythonic" interface to the PKCS#11 (Cryptoki) standard to
support HSM and Smartcard devices in Python.
.
The interface is designed to follow the logical structure of a HSM, with
useful defaults for obscurely documented parameters. Many APIs will optionally
accept iterables and act as generators, allowing you to stream large data
blocks for symmetric encryption.
.
It also includes numerous utility functions to convert between PKCS#11 data
structures and common interchange formats including PKCS#1 and X.509.
.
The library is fully documented and has a full integration test suite for all
features, with continuous integration against multiple HSM platforms including
Entrust nShield, Opencryptoki TPM and OpenSC/Smartcard-HSM/Nitrokey HSM.
New optional dependency for esptool, a package that I am trying to help
with. I intend to maintain this package as part of the Debian Python
Team. Co-maintainers/Uploaders more than welcome.
