Pkcs11Interop Library for .NetCore

Pkcs11Interop is a managed library written in C# that allows you to use the PKCS11 API in a .NET environment. This library is used to load a cryptographic device vendor’s PKCS11 library and allows the functions within the library to be accessible to .NET applications. In this release of CADP for C, the Pkcs11Interop is used to load the unmanaged PKCS11 library. Support for Windows and Linux is included in the Pkcs11Interop library.

Pkcs11Interop is built on .Net Standard 2.0. For information about the supported frameworks of .Net Standard 2.0, refer to the online Microsoft documentation at .NET Standard.
