(C# UWP/WinRT) PKCS11 Sessions

See more PKCS11 Examples

Sample code showing how to open a PKCS11 session and then later close it.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.88 or later.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Note: Chilkat's PKCS11 implementation runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and other supported operating systems.

// This is the DLL for the Feitian ePass3003Auto USB token

bool success = pkcs11.Initialize();

// We need to call Discover to get the slot ID.
