PKCS11 Sessions

See more PKCS11 Examples

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

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- 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.

local pkcs11 = chilkat.Pkcs11.new()

-- Set your shared lib path -- either a full path to the DLL, .so, or .dylib,
-- or just the filename if the driver is in a location that can be automatically found. (Such as in C:\Windows\System32)
pkcs11.shared_lib_path = "ShuttleCsp11_3003.dll"

-- There is a shorter way to establish
-- a PKCS11 session with login.
-- The QuickSession method is the equivalent of
-- calling Initialize, OpenSession, and Login.

local success = pkcs11:initialize()
if not success then
    print(pkcs11.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Pass -1 for the slotID to open a session on the first non-empty slot.
local slotID = -1

-- Open a read/write session.
local readWrite = true
success = pkcs11:open_session(slotID, readWrite)
if not success then
    print(pkcs11.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Do whatever is needed...
-- ...
-- ...

-- When finished, close the session.
-- It is important to close the session (memory leaks will occur if the session is not properly closed).

success = pkcs11:close_session()
if not success then
    print(pkcs11.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("PKCS11 session successfully opened and closed.")
