NCryptoki

NCryptoki is a library for .NET Framework that implements the PKCS#11 specifications and supplies an API for C#, VB.NET, Visual Basic 6, Delphi and other COM interop languages for integrating a PKCS#11 compliant token in any application. NCryptoki maps the cryptoki's functions defined in PKCS#11 specifications in a set of high level .NET classes for C# and VB.NET and proposes a programming paradigm that allows to integrate your PKCS#11 compliant token in your applications with a few lines of code. NCryptoki supplies also a Silverlight 5 assembly and a COM interface that allows to use the supplied classes in any language that supports COM interop like Visual Basic 6, Delphi, etc.

Main features

• Compliant with PKCS#11 2.20 specifications
• Compliant with any PKCS#11 smart card/token/HSM
• 32 or 64 bit platform
• .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0
• Silverlight 5
• Java SE 6 or later

COM interface

NCryptoki supplies also a COM interface that allows to use the supplied classes in any language that supports COM interop like Visual Basic 6, Delphi etc.

Programming paradigm

The programming paradigm is very similar to the one described in C programming language in PKCS#11 specifications: the PKCS#11 C functions are mapped into a set of .NET classes that follows the same classification described above.
