BOOL success = NO;

// 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.

CkoPkcs11 *pkcs11 = [[CkoPkcs11 alloc] init];

// Use the PKCS11 driver (.dll, .so, .dylib) for your particular HSM.
// For example:
pkcs11.SharedLibPath = @"C:/Program Files (x86)/Gemalto/IDGo 800 PKCS#11/IDPrimePKCS1164.dll";

// Use your HSM's PIN to login.
// If you wish to establish a session without logging in, then set the pin equal to the empty string.
NSString *pin = @"0000";

// Normal user = 1
int userType = 1;

// Establish a logged-on user session with the HSM.
// The call to QuickSession takes the place of calling Initialize, OpenSession, and Login.
success = [pkcs11 QuickSession: [NSNumber numberWithInt: userType] pin: pin];
if (success == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",pkcs11.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Do whatever is needed in your PKCS11 session.
// ...
// ...

[pkcs11 Logout];
[pkcs11 CloseSession];

NSLog(@"%@",@"Success.");
