    // 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.

    let pkcs11 = CkoPkcs11()!

    // Use the PKCS11 driver (.dll, .so, .dylib) for your particular HSM.
    // (The format of the path will change with the operating system.  Obviously, "C:/" is not used on non-Windows systems.
    pkcs11.sharedLibPath = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Gemalto/IDGo 800 PKCS#11/IDPrimePKCS1164.dll"

    // Establish a logged-on session. (We can typically skip the login by passing an empty PIN if only working with public keys)
    // Use your actual PIN here, or an empty string to skip login.
    var pin: String? = "0000"
    var userType: Int = 1
    success = pkcs11.quickSession(userType: userType, pin: pin)

        return
    }

    // Get the handle of the public key we wish to export.
    // You can find public keys in many different ways.
    // This example will search for a public key by label.

    // Provide a template to find a PKCS11 object.
    let jsonTemplate = CkoJsonObject()!

    // Find the public key with the label "Belgium eHealth".
    jsonTemplate.updateString(jsonPath: "class", value: "public_key")
