.TH PKCS11_SOFTTOKEN 5 "Mar 25, 2008"
.SH NAME
pkcs11_softtoken \- Software RSA PKCS#11 softtoken
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
/usr/lib/security/pkcs11_softtoken.so
/usr/lib/security/64/pkcs11_softtoken.so
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBpkcs11_softtoken.so\fR object implements the RSA PKCS#11 v2.20
specification in software. Persistent storage for "token" objects is provided
by this PKCS#11 implementation.
.sp
.LP
Application developers should link to \fBlibpkcs11.so\fR rather than link
directly to \fBpkcs11_softtoken.so\fR. See \fBlibpkcs11\fR(3LIB).
.sp
.LP
The following cryptographic algorithms are implemented: DES, 3DES, AES,
Blowfish, RC4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, RSA, DSA, DH, and ECC.
.sp
.LP
All of the Standard PKCS#11 functions listed on \fBlibpkcs11\fR(3LIB) are
implemented except for the following:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
C_GetObjectSize
C_InitPIN
C_InitToken
C_WaitForSlotEvent
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
A call to these functions returns \fBCKR_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED\fR.

The following RSA PKCS#11 v2.20 mechanisms are supported:

.LP
The search operation of objects matching the template is performed at
\fBC_FindObjectsInit\fR. The matched objects are cached for subsequent
\fBC_FindObjects\fR operations.
.sp
.LP
The \fBpkcs11_softtoken.so\fR object provides a filesystem-based persistent
token object store for storing token objects. The default location of the token
object store is the user's home directory returned by \fBgetpwuid_r()\fR. The
user can override the default location by using the \fB${SOFTTOKEN_DIR}\fR
environment variable.
.sp
.LP
If the token object store has never been initialized, the \fBC_Login()\fR
function might return \fBCKR_OK\fR but the user will not be able to create,
generate, derive or find any private token object and receives
\fBCKR_PIN_EXPIRED\fR.
.sp
.LP
The user must use the \fBpktool\fR(1) \fBsetpin\fR command with the default
passphrase "changeme" as the old passphrase to change the passphrase of the
object store. This action is needed to initialize and set the passphrase to a
newly created token object store.
.sp
.LP
After logging into object store with the new passphrase that was set by the
\fBpktool setpin\fR command, the user can create and store the private token
object in this newly created object store. Until the token object store is
initialized by \fBsetpin\fR, the \fBC_Login()\fR function is allowed, but all
attempts by the user to create, generate, derive or find any private token
object fails with a \fBCKR_PIN_EXPIRED\fR error.
.sp
.LP
The PIN provided for \fBC_Login()\fR and \fBC_SetPIN()\fR functions can be any
string of characters with lengths between 1 and 256 and no embedded nulls.
