OASIS Members,

OASIS is pleased to announce the publication of its newest OASIS Standards:

PKCS #11 Cryptographic Token Interface Base Specification Version 2.40
OASIS Standard
14 April 2015

PKCS #11 Cryptographic Token Interface Profiles Version 2.40
OASIS Standard
14 April 2015

PKCS #11 Cryptographic Token Interface Current Mechanisms Specification
Version 2.40
OASIS Standard
14 April 2015

PKCS #11 Cryptographic Token Interface Historical Mechanisms
Specification Version 2.40
OASIS Standard
14 April 2015

Overview:

PKCS #11 is an application programming interface (API) that enables
interaction with cryptographic devices in multi-vendor environments.

The Base Specification provides normative definition of PKCS #11
objects, attributes and operations.

Profiles describes conformant profiles consisting of PKCS #11 objects,
attributes, operations and mechanisms.

Current Mechanisms describe the application of PKCS #11 objects,
attributes and operations for specific mechanisms currently in general use.

Historical Mechanisms describe the application of PKCS #11 objects,
attributes and operations for specific mechanisms that have been but are
no longer in general use.

The OASIS PKCS 11 Technical Committee develops enhancements to improve
the PKCS #11 standard for ease of use in code libraries, open source
applications, wrappers, and enterprise/COTS products: implementation
guidelines, usage tutorials, test scenarios and test suites,
interoperability testing, coordination of functional testing,
development of conformance profiles, and providing reference
implementations.

These new OASIS Standards were approved by the membership of the
organization on 14 April 2015.
