SafeNet Luna Extensions to PKCS#11

The following table provides a list of the SafeNet Luna PKCS#11 C-API extensions.

Firmware Dependencies

Some functions are firmware-dependent, as indicated. Where there is a firmware dependency, the specified firmware version applies to all minor revisions of the firmware. In the following table, if no firmware version/series is mentioned, then the extension applies to all. If a firmware version is mentioned, then the extension applies to that firmware series, but not to others. A function that applies to Firmware 4 (example: CA_CloneModifyMofN) works with firmware versions 4.xx.xx, but not with firmware 6.xx.xx nor firmware 7.xx.xx.

Other APIs

These commands and functions can also be used as extensions to other Application Programming Interfaces (for example, OpenSSL).

The current release of SafeNet Toolkit provides the Chrystoki library supporting version 2.20 of the Cryptoki standard.
